Very impressive given the quality of the guys who beat him. He loves his new Ozone Mantra R7 it goes without saying. He also flew the Ozone Mantra serial class wing and strongly recommended it to me for both safety and performance.

The two Valic brothers got first and second place (world ranking 3 and 6 - see PWCA rankings). Primoz PODOBNIK got third (world ranking 2 after Maurer).

Note on the Valic brothers distance record, beating Will Gadd by 3km:

The Slovenian born Valic brothers travelled to South Africa in the middle of November 2006 with the specific goal to achieve a world record in terms of a declared goal. Despite tough and very strong conditions, and after spending 6 and half hours in the air, both brothers made the declared goal, and had enough height and time to continue to fly further, eventually landing within 300 meters of each other, setting a new world distance record of 426km.
