The SEED from BGD is a wing designed solely for inflation, at an affordable price. Based on the EN-B EPIC, the SEED reacts and flies like a classic-sized paraglider. It is made from durable 50g fabric and has three risers. It's a fun tool for waiting at takeoff, practicing inflation, or just playing Spiderman.

Public for BGD SEED
Take a SEED and refine your technique! Inflation is never a waste of time, even for professionals. You can learn essential skills on the ground that directly impact your flying in the air. Collapses, stalls, brake pressure, and active flying can all be practiced safely on the ground with your SEED.
Notes from the designer of the BGD SEED
I designed the SEED to be as simple as possible, while retaining the latest and most essential design techniques. A pronounced shark nose, CCB, 3D shaping of the lower panels, and many other technical features make the SEED similar to a classic paraglider. I always say, "Good pilots on the ground make good pilots in the air." The SEED was therefore created to teach the essential skills with a wing small enough to play safely even in strong winds.
