PD Storm swooping Can't Post

Hello everyone Smile
I´ve read in the Storm flight characteristics and PD writes: Even though you can
“swoop” the Storm, you probably won’t win any competitions with it.

Has anyone a Storm an swoop with it, has info and maybe a funy video from it ? Smile

Hi
We are using Storms 120 for CRW at about 1.6 lbs/sqft.
As we are passionated swoopers as well we could not resist to hit the lake close to the DZ with the storms.
We also do 270° teamswoops. It seriously got some potential, thanks to its strong dive.

The Storm is not a Velo but I consider it the best overall canopy ever, and very suitable for getting into swooping and still keep doors open for all other disciplines.

I got some jumps over WL 1.7.
It was opening, flying and landing OK.

I have a 120 CF Storm I load at 2.0

Given the different trim, short lined canopy, I cant speak to the 'normal' version but I do get a decent surf from mine.

If you dont bring the CF with speed it lands like crap
