"Flying Frenzy
offers the perfect learning environment; fun and relaxed but with
instructors who inspire confidence."
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...
It is surprisingly easy to learn
to fly a paraglider. You can often
fly solo from part the way up the hill on your first day. When flying
the glider you hold two control handles. Pulling smoothly on one
side gives you a turn to that direction, to slow down you pull a
bit on both. As you come back down to the ground you slow the wing
and with a few steps finish your flight.
Paragliding
is however potentially very dangerous. You must fully understand
the risks when you start paragliding. If you make the wrong control
input or you encounter a serious patch of turbulence or attempt
to fly in wind that is too strong, you can return to the ground
with damaging speed.
