Dreams don't fly themselves — but we can help.
Kyle Twidale came to us with a long-held dream and left as a licensed hang glider pilot — pictured here on his very first flight in his own Moyes Malibu.

MOYES TAKES BRAZIL! CONGRATULATIONS MARCELO ABBOT🏆🇧🇷

We are absolutely thrilled to share this news from Brazil — Marcelo Abbott has just claimed the 2026 Brazilian Hang Gliding Championship, flying a new Moyes RX 4! 🎉
What makes this story even more special? Marcelo only switched to Moyes recently. First season. First championship. That's the kind of debut you write home about.
Seven valid tasks across one of the toughest Brazilian championships in recent memory — and Marcelo delivered from start to finish.
A huge congratulations from everyone at Moyes to Marcelo and all the pilots who battled through this epic event. And a massive thank you to the Brazilian hang gliding community for the incredible spirit and camaraderie on display throughout the competition.
Read on for a beautiful tribute from Moyes pilot Glauco Cavalcanti, written straight from the heart of the Brazilian scene.

BRAZILIAN CHAMPION ALERT!

Marcelo Abbott is the new Brazilian Hang Gliding Champion for 2026! And what a story it is — Marcelo started flying Moyes this year and has already claimed the Brazilian Championship title after an incredibly challenging event featuring 7 valid tasks. A true hang gliding marathon.

Congratulations to Marcelo, now officially a true Moyes Boy, on an outstanding achievement and a well-deserved championship victory.

Congratulations as well to all the pilots who took on one of the toughest championships and pushed through every task. These are the kinds of moments and experiences that stay with you forever.

For those of us following from afar, it was an amazing event to watch. We enjoyed every task, every goal arrival, and every update shared throughout the competition.

A big thank you to the organizers, and especially to Sérgio Kawakame (“China”), who made us feel part of the competition even from a distance. Congratulations as well to Nixon for supporting the Moyes pilots throughout the event.

A little side story — when I went to Nixon to fit the new sail on my glider, Marcelo Abbott happened to be there picking up his new Moyes RX. If he had known he was about to become the 2026 Brazilian Hang Gliding Champion flying that rocket, he probably would have bought a Moyes even sooner!

That’s it — let’s fly 🚀

Safe flights and strong thermals to everyone.

Coming up next: Andradas, Brasília, the Jaraguá season, and the cherry on top… Quixadá.
