This course (which makes a great gift), is designed to give you an introduction to the sport. We start by going through a basic introduction to the paragliding equipment and how it all works. We will go through all the necessary safety procedures and teach you the PLF (parachute landing fall). This is a way of falling over without hurting yourself. Next we demonstrate how to launch the glider, do a short flight and land it safely.
When it is your turn, your instructor will clip you into the harness and brief you on how to launch, control and land the glider. As your confidence and ability improve, you will find yourself flying from just a few feet off the ground initially and as the day progresses, you'll get higher and higher. Your instructor will only let you progress as fast as he/she thinks is safe and by late afternoon you should be flying up to 50 feet or so. Remember this is an introduction, not a course in how to fly. To get any higher than 50 feet, you will need to enrol on an EP course to gain further training.
