Nova founds the Climb & Fly team

July 14, 2020

As a somewhat more extreme form of hike-and-fly, a new trend is slowly establishing itself: Climb-and-Fly. Nova relies on this with its own pilot team.

Nova has recognized this trend and, in addition to its classic XC pilot team, has now set up its own climb-and-fly pilot team - under the name Nova CFT. The young women and crew want to hear and see themselves with touring adventures. The engagement is interesting for Nova because the team can easily put the light mountain doubleskin and the smaller race version Bantam in the picture and market it. In Corona times, when sales of many classic umbrella types were very poor, the unbroken sales of these lightweight umbrellas was a ray of hope for Nova. No wonder that people like to support this trend with radiant faces.
