The Gin Boomerang is a South Korean single-place, paraglider that was designed by Gin Seok Song and produced by Gin Gliders of Yongin. In 2016 it remained in production as the Boomerang 10.[1][2]
The Boomerang was designed as a competition glider. The design has progressed through ten generations of models as of 2016, the original Boomerang and then the Boomerang 2 through 10, each improving on the last. The models are each named for their relative size.[1][2]
