The History of Chouka

As an engineer with a passion for paragliding and the mountains, I wanted to create a lightweight, simple, and reliable variometer. It all started with a first prototype I cobbled together by hand, housed in a Tic Tac box and humorously nicknamed the“vario tictac.” Through successive improvements and test flights, that first prototype evolved into the Chouka variometer.

Our products arecarefully crafted in Grenoble,in the French Alps.
