Advance’s Andy Hediger won the “Merrell Cup”, also the Argentinean Paragliding open, which took place in Tucuman, Argentina, during the third week of September.

Poor weather unfortunately meant that only three tasks were flown, Andy beating Adrian Acosta (Niviuk) by only 50 points. Juan Delgado (Advance) finished third.
