POW2 und ZAP are his babies - a chat with Théo de Ramecourt

I got Théo's contact after the intro of the Podcast with Stan Keusch, where I got to fly a tandem paraglider for the first time. Théo is the man behind Flysurfers POW and their double skin ZAP and we talked about the development and the process of making a parawing.
