The summer temps are here! After a long day of work, and steeming it up, me and the boys took to the sky!

In this video I talk a little about the last flight where I had the hard landing that could have been a lot worse.

The weather is hot here, and its not a good time to fly. However, if you are new to the sport, you know that any time you can fly, you should. I have a flight log book. This flight was #54. The goal is to safely get to 90 flights and have a certain amount of hours in the sky so I can get my paraglider pilots license upgraded to level P3. This will give me allowance to fly an almost any site in southern California.

Ah man, that looks like so much fun! Never been paragliding before. I could use a good adventure.

I saw a video on youtube of a guy flying around. I fell in love and the rest is history. Super fun sport!

It's like a bug once PG gets under your skin ;)
I've just checked my log book, 130 flights since 2004. Ideally that should read 1300 flights since 2004 lol.

Nice! That is great! I hope to one day fly over there with you guys.

As great as that sounds matey, we don't seem to get the flyable days like you do. XCWeather showing wind/rain for next few days here in Yorkshire :(
