Learning to Paraglide

I've been meaning to post this page on paragliding for some time now.  As soon as I got back from New Zealand, I signed up for lessons with Jason Shapiro of Air Addict. If you're in the Sacramento area, I highly recommend taking lessons from Jason.  He's a very safe teacher and keeps his class small so he can give you the attention you need while learning.  Anyway, enough of my talking, lets go air surfing :)

Here's one of my first flights at Cronan Ranch, near Auburn California.  I call it "Pull Brakes, Pull Brakes!"  You'll see why. haha! :)

I love my new Sky Anakis 2 wing

Getting a site briefing from Jason at Hat Creek.  Had some nice flights that lasted longer than the training hill.  Whoohooo!

 

My excitement on the landing is because I landed in the dark colored dirt that my instructor wanted us to try for.  Plus landing safely is always something to be excited about. Haha! :)
