LEAF3 AND LEAF3 LIGHT

All the advantages of the LEAF 3 in a light version!

Although based on the design , the LEAF 3 Light uses lightweight and robust materials for optimal weight/durability without impacting its performance at flight.

Just like the non-weighted version, the LEAF 3 light is an ideal wing to progress with thanks to its High level of passive safety. It is nevertheless a playful wing with which you can work on your technique to go further.

The structure of the LEAF 3 Light has been reworked for better performance in flight . More damped than the LEAF 2 Light on the roll axis, its behavior filters the air mass for more comfort in flight without compromising on the precision of the piloting .

Unlike the LEAF 3, the Line set of the LEAF 3 Light is unsheathed on the upper stage to save weight and reduce drag. However, the lower and middle stages remain sheathed for easy untangling and preflighting.

With a weight of 3.66 kg in size M, this light and compact kite goes everywhere with you, whether in the air or in your bag. It is the ideal choice if you wish to progress serenely in flight while practicing Hike & Fly.

IDEAL TO PROGRESS WITHOUT GETTING BORED

The LEAF 3 Light is designed for pilots who wish to continue their progression in paraglider under a reassuring wing that does not deprive them of the pleasures of flight rando.

Just like the standard version, the LEAF 3 Light is an easy to fly and very forgiving glider for a smooth progression towards a more efficient practice of paraglider, on land and in the air.

It is still playful and reactive to the control and will allow you to perfect your piloting technique step by step.

COMFORT IN FLIGHT

The LEAF 3 Light has a new design arch to provide better cushioning, especially on the roll axis.

Thanks to its lightweight structure, the LEAF 3 Light communicates information from the air mass to you while reducing the inertia of the wing’s movements. This reassuring behavior allows you to stay confident while understanding what is going on around you.

The construction of the internal structure limits the deformation of the Airfoil and increases the control travel. This gives you the freedom to exploit the full speed range of the wing while maintaining steering precision.

OPTIMIZED LEADING EDGE

Like the LEAF 3, the light version benefits from a reworked leading edge. The air inlets alternate between two types of openings along the leading edge to ensure optimal internal pressure at all engine speeds flight.

Airfoil The wide air inlets maintain internal pressure at low speeds , while the narrower openings ensure optimal pressure at flight .

THERMAL PERFORMANCE

Thanks to the new architecture of the wing, the turn is more fluid with a better coordination of the roll and pitch axis, which makes the control of the wing more precise. Its arch allows for a flatter turn flatter turnwhich makes it easier to optimize theLift / thermic . The LEAF 3 Light is therefore an EN-B with a design ideal for thermal flight and cross.

✅ Thermalling Techniques: Focus on carving consistent turns. The Leaf 3 Light responds fluidly to brake inputs and body weight shifts, helping you center lifts efficiently.
✅ Active Piloting Practice: Use gentle toggles and precise weight shift to manage pitch and roll. The wing’s predictable feedback teaches you how to read the air.
✅ Speed Bar Usage: Get comfortable using the accelerator in dynamic air. The Shark Nose profile keeps the wing stable, even at higher speeds.
✅ Practice Collapses in SIV: Under supervision, explore how the wing reacts during asymmetric and frontal collapses. Recovery behavior is mild and manageable.
✅ Explore Wingovers & Spirals Gradually: As your confidence grows, build up to more advanced maneuvers. The Leaf 3 Light allows you to push limits gently and progressively.

🧳 When Progress Becomes Natural

Because the Leaf 3 Light is so easy to launch and forgiving in flight, you’ll naturally want to take it on longer adventures. What begins as short top-to-bottoms quickly transforms into thermal hunting and XC explorations. Along the way, you’ll build the mental map of an advanced pilot—calculating wind direction, choosing optimal lines, and managing energy efficiently.

📚 Learning Resources to Accelerate Progress

📘 Join a Local Club: Surround yourself with pilots who can offer advice and share real-time air observations.
🎥 Watch Debrief Videos: Use onboard footage to study brake input, body position, and thermalling lines.
🧑‍🏫 Book Coaching Days: Instructors who specialize in post-license progression can spot habits and provide focused exercises.
🏔️ Explore Varying Conditions: Fly early, midday, and evening. Each time of day teaches different lessons about thermals, winds, and transitions.

🎯 A Wing That Teaches With You

Unlike higher-end EN-B wings that require constant attention, the Supair Leaf 3 Light stays composed under pressure. It becomes your in-air mentor—subtle enough to teach you, responsive enough to reward you, and safe enough to correct your early missteps.

By staying with you through each phase—from ridge soaring to thermic climbing to XC pushing—the Leaf 3 Light transforms flying into a lifelong, masterable art.
