About Benni<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Head of R&D for FLARE and FLYSURFER, Partner Skywalk Group<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Benni grew up with something flying in his hands. Kites, wings, anything that could catch air. At some point, it stopped being a hobby and turned into something deeper. An instinct for how air moves. How surfaces react. How small changes create big differences. We sometimes joke that he can see air. He has never confirmed it.<\/p>\n

When Armin passed on the idea of combining kite and paraglider DNA, Benni did not just continue the project. He immersed himself in it. Fully. Obsessively. Even on vacation, prototypes followed him.<\/p>\n

For him, flaring was never about building another wing. It was about understanding a system. The accelerator, the dynamic angle of attack, the way speed and lift interact. How to make it playful, fast and precise without compromising safety.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The FLARE System is not an accident. It is the result of long studies, countless test flights, discussions, refinements and more iterations than anyone outside the team will ever see.<\/p>\n

Benni also knew early on that a vision like this needs the right pilots. Working closely with athletes who push limits was not optional. It was essential. Their feedback shaped the evolution of the wings just as much as engineering did.<\/p>\n

What drives him is simple. Make it better. Make it clearer. Make it safer. Make it more alive. He believes in understanding the system before pushing it. Creating a new discipline is not something you plan on your calendar. It happens when curiosity meets persistence.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

How the BANDIT Took Over<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Some product launches feel special. The BANDIT was something else. After the MOUSTACHE\u00b2 barbershop campaign, the next association came fast:\u2028 Bandit. El Bandito. Western. Lucky Luke. Dust. Showdown. And just like that, the whole idea started rolling.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
