Two Pilots. One Battle. A New World Stage for Freestyle Flight.
Oct 14, 2026
San Diego, California Oct 14, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Two pilots share the sky. Flips, spiraling rotations, and intricate maneuver combinations unfold above the turquoise coast. Every battle raises the stakes as competitors fight for a place in the finals.
The World Tour of Freestyle Flight (WTFF) will launch its inaugural competition at the 26th International -lüdeniz Air Games, October 21-25, 2026, bringing head-to-head aerial battles to the spectacular sport of acro paragliding.
Acro paragliding combines precise wing control with gravity-defying aerial performance. WTFF (https://www.acroparagliding.com/) channels that intensity into a tournament format featuring two pilots flying simultaneously, giving spectators a competition story to follow from the opening matchups to the championship showdown.
Technical skill meets individual style as athletes showcase demanding maneuvers, creative combinations, choreography, and crowd interaction. Each battle is an opportunity to advance--and to deliver a performance fans will remember.
The inaugural event will bring together male and female athletes from multiple countries, placing established competitors and emerging talent on the same international stage. With contrasting styles and fresh challengers entering the bracket, every matchup offers a new reason to watch.
WTFF aims to turn that excitement into lasting growth: expanding the audience for freestyle flight, building recognizable athletes, and creating stronger opportunities for sponsorship and media exposure. Its long-term vision is an international circuit that connects competitions, athletes, and fans across destinations.
Meet the Brands Supporting the Launch
WTFF welcomes Max Acro, SkyTow, and Sky Paragliders as sponsors bringing training expertise, innovative technology, and a passion for flight to the tour's debut.

SkyTow -- Taking flight technology in a bold new direction.
Developed by Towiin, SkyTow uses drone-powered towing to launch paragliders and other unpowered aircraft. By bringing aerial technology into the launch process, SkyTow offers an inventive approach to accessing free flight--capturing the same spirit of possibility that drives athletes to explore what comes next.

The Action Extends Beyond the Sky
Athlete interviews, autograph sessions, and opportunities to meet the competitors will bring fans closer to the people behind the performances. Younger spectators can join the excitement with Flip, the WTFF mascot, a custom WTFF coloring book, and a coloring contest.
The event begins with training on October 21, followed by competition October 22-24 and awards on October 25. Livestream coverage will bring the battles to fans beyond the event site.
With -lüdeniz's coastline as the backdrop, WTFF's debut sets the stage for aerial showdowns, rising contenders, and the first chapter of a new international tour.
Additional tour stops will be announced as arrangements are confirmed.
