Slope Soaring - Low Flight

Ever have the dream of being like superman: you outstretch your arms and start flying just above the ground? Well now you can!

This is something everyone can enjoy. We have had students from age 13 to 77 in this introductory course.

Your first flights should be done in a safe and un- intimidating environment on grass training hills. You will gently take flight, skimming only a few feet off the ground.

You will learn to inflate the paraglider into the wind and guide it to get it overhead.

Once the glider is flying, it floats there waiting: a giant ram-air kite. A few running steps down the hill gets you to take-off speed, and you are gently lifted off the ground and take flight.

This is possibly the most fun you will ever have.

Launching, having a short flight, then a soft landing and you can walk back up the hill and fly all over again!

We train in groups of 4 and split into two teams of two and have a survivor type game where the teams compete for the most successful launches and flights during the race. An absolute blast for the group and guaranteed "aha" smiles like only first flights can produce.

You will be taken back to that magical place where anything seems possible. Mankind's oldest dream: the power of free flight has finally been realized with the paraglider!
