What's included
Paragliding is the purest form of flight available to us. The wing weighs just a few kilos and is easily portable. With a steady breeze blowing up a cliff you can soar all day in perfect relaxation. If adventure is your thing you can climb up thousands of feet in thermals and then glide for many miles. If adrenaline is your thing you can learn to throw your paraglider around to do some of the most dynamic acrobatics imaginable. Dont miss this once in a life time experience!
The day will include:
Introduction to the sport and paperwork
Discussion of the risks involved in paragliding
Basic theory of paragliding aerodynamics and local airflow
Daily canopy and equipment checks
How to keep yourself safe
Pre-flight checks
Canopy inflation and control on the ground
Low flights on shallower slopes (known as ‘hops’)
A higher flight from main slope if time, your energy levels and rate of progress allow
