Blue Sky Paragliding profile
Blue Sky Paragliding Ltd. was born in 2001 and was the Paragliding company in Nepal.
The friendship of Narayang Parajulie, one of the first Nepaly pilot, and David Arrufat, a swiss pilot famous for its accro level (discovers the Rhythmic SAT in 2002) brought up the will to offer paragliding tandem and courses in Nepal.
After many adventures, Blue Sky Paragliding is a well established company. The staff is composed by 11 peoples working in the office and a team of around 7 to 10 pilots.

Specialised in
SIV and accro courses
David Arrufat is an OFAC swiss instructor (licence N35504 French ,FAI). He does accro competitions since 2001.
- 5th at the Redbull vertigo 2002
-
4th at the RedBull vertigo 2003
- 2nd in syncro competition OMEGNA 2003, with Hervé Cerutti
- 6th in Mondial rath in 2004
David invented the
"rhythmic SAT" in 2004, which is now a required component of
accro competition. He was the first pilot to excute 6
consecutives tumblings, during the RedBull Vertigo in 2001.
In 2002 I discovered a much more
dynamic and cleaner variation of the "Mac Twist", which we
now call the "Misty Flip". But it was Swiss pilot David
Arufat who amazed everyone at Vertigo that year when, during
his sequence, he hit the brakes earlier than normal whilst
entering a SAT and discovered the "Rhythmic SAT", which
instantly became the top manoeuvre and the one everyone wanted to master.
