Discover Paragliding

Ben, getting a handle on the landing pattern. Near perfect on the approach, but the increasing wind made for a short landing.
Be careful... There are 'crocodiles' back there! 😉

Just another day over Sunset Beach. 😊

Not Paragliding, but this is a close up look at 'Terrible Tilly', the Tillamook rock lighthouse that we see to the south almost every day we fly.
This video inspires me to go explore the location with a more aquatic style of transportation! 😊

Mom, and her two daughters joined us a couple weeks ago. Mom Went first, so she gets the first video. (We're definitely going to take the camera up with us more. So many good memories!)
At launch, as the glider starts to inflate, you can see that moment of trepidation, that wonder of what comes next... The instant her feet left the ground, the nervous turned to delight.
She and her two daughters were a "delight full" reminder of why we do what we do.
Such a wonderful experience for all!

I recently realized that it had been a very long time since we've done any Tandem flight videos, so we decided to take the GoPro out on todays flights. 9 in total.
Maren, averaging over 3200' per flight climbed well over 24,000' for the day.
Brad, (me), drove more than 60 miles up and down the beach to make it all happen.
Here's a tiny sample of the day we had. Wow is right! :-)

(More video coming...)

Some days, it's actually Discover Powered Paragliding! ;-)
(Yesterday: Powered Paragliding Training.
Tomorrow: Tandems and Solo PG Training
Soon: Weekend adventures, SIV training, Advanced Clinics and more! Are you ready?)
Happy pilots, here. One on their first PPG flight, another on their way to PPG2, and now a new member of the USPPA with his PPG2 rating. Congrats to Sam!

Just going through old pics this evening, realizing it's been quite a while since we've been taking the GoPro up flying with us...
Is it time to start doing it again?!?

It's Paragliding season again! Are you ready to get up there?!? 😊

Luka, coming down from ~500' high on his second flight ever! Towing up gives the opportunity to 'earn' your altitude. Start off keeping the climb rate slow, letting the student figure out the nuances of flight, followed by an increased climb rate as their skills get better.
He looks pretty good up there, no?!? :-)
