Paul Guschlbauer
Paul Guschlbauer is a paraglider pilot, known for his multiple participation in the Red Bull X-Alps. Paul is also recognized for his involvement in the aviation and outdoor community, where he is committed to safety, environmental protection and passing on his knowledge to the next generation of pilots.
The mental component has always interested me a lot in gliding and also as a paraglider pilot. In the ongoing process of working with Paul, I was able to see how creative Paul's new approaches are. A little off the beaten track, it shows possibilities that will captivate even experienced pilots. The whole thing is greatly enhanced with many examples and experiences from Paul and friends!
