Paul Guschlbauer is a professional paragliding pilot. Among the greatest successes of his career are several podium places at the Red Bull X-Alps and numerous victories at the Red Bull Dolomitenmann in paragliding.

Paul started his sport career at a very early stage in his life. His father motivated him for sports, especially for mountain biking. At the age of 13 years, he participated and won his first mountain bike race.  After reading an article about the Red Bull X-Alps, Paul realised the many possibilities that this sport offers. This confirmed him even more in his decision to dedicate himself to the sport of paragliding.  A practical side effect of this is that he could move to the mountains and follow his passions there even more.
