Want to go tandem? Look how easy it is... GO TO PARAGLIDING TANDEM LINK Paragliding is the easiest and most convenient way to achieve personal flight. It became popular in Europe in the 1980's and is now growing rapidly in the US. How does it work? The canopy is stretched out on the ground behind the pilot. The pilot walks a few feet forward down the hill and into the wind to stretch the lines, the glider inflates and comes up over the pilot's head. A few more steps and the pilot is gently lifted up. Steering is done by pulling on either of the brake toggles. Those same brake toggles are used for the landing, the pilot pulls down on both of them at the same time, the glider slows down and stops going forward as the pilot's feet contact the ground. Another couple minutes and the whole flying equipment is put away back into the carry bag! Most paragliders only weigh about 10-15 pounds. More experienced pilots fly further and longer, multi hours flight are very common. If you have never seen a Paraglider launch, here is how! 1st. Lay your wing behind you... Second step, you run forward... And up you go!!:):):) We train on one of the world most reliable training hill located
