Get a taste of flying!

#
Note: This event has already passed.

Aviation sports have become one of the most exciting and interesting pastimes of our age.  Man has spent decades perfecting the art of flight and now you can be part of that movement.  Spend the day with a dedicated instructor learning the basics of paragliding in this taster course.  Students will progress from classroom presentation, equipment introduction, and demonstration to canopy familiarization and launch practice.  After that, is it off to the training hill for some practical guidance, practice, and short, low flights from the training slope – that’s right you get to fly on the first day!
