Kari "Karlos" Rämö is a ex-hanglider pilot with a thirst for long XC-flights. Kari is always prepared for those special days and has several times improved the Finnish records. His early early season flight of 155 km started the long-distance frenzy we saw in Finland in May. Kari is also a real engineer; he has always some beautifully constructed add-ons such as video-camera fixtures, and fixes everything even the screaming bunkbeds in the hostel of Piedrahita!
Here are Kari's answers to our standard questions:
Age: "37"
Occupation: "stock manager"
Gear: "Skywalk Magic, Advance impress"
Most memorable flight: "Catching a thermal with thousands of leaves."
Personal goal: "The trofee!"

About
I'm Robert Aarts, a paragliding pilot from Espoo, Finland. This blog tracks my own flights and developments as well as other paragliding news from Finland; I also blog about technology and other issues).
I've been flying since 1993 and I'm still learning and getting better at it; this never ending opportunity for improvements is one of the main fascinations and drivers for me. Even more important for me is the absolute tranquility of being in the air, concentrated on flying and free from other thoughts, disturbances or worries. Finally it is really amazing to be able to fly for hours and over long distances using nothing but wind and thermals, i.e. solar energy.
Every now and then I organize paragliding trips and training under the umbrella of Lokkilok. You can contact me there or by email
