01 - Who can fly tandem paragliding?

Anyone can paraglide, and from 3 to 85 years!
In fact, there are no age. Just be able to jog a couple of meters and possibly be able to skip the second step of a staircase.
For children, they must come and do they want "a small roller coaster ride." It is for their pleasure in them Laughing

02 - Flying "discovery" or "performance"?

For the first theft, discovery is recommended you to discover the activity in peace and then consider training or a longer flight if you enjoyed the experience. In principle, the satisfaction rate approaches 100% ;-)
For a 2 nd vol or higher, you can choose the flight performance. This one is longer and more "turbulent". It flies in thermal conditions that allow us to mount and fly longer. The downside is that "scene" and that some sensitive individuals may experience nausea.

03 - Is there a weight limit?

Most paragliding sails are designed to withstand a total weight of the wheel (flange driver passenger) from 200 to 230 kg, and are tested to 8 times the maximum load! So it is! We have already taken up passengers who weighed 120-130 kg.
In this case, it is advisable to book your flight in the late morning or afternoon.

04 - What dress to take its first flight?

Although summer temperatures are mild, hot see, anyway it is better to have a sweater or a sweatshirt and a windbreaker for the top, and long pants for the bottom. At shoes, hiking boots will do the trick.

05 - And for the children?

It must be sure it is the child who had applied. Younger must be able to spend an hour with someone they do not know. When this happens, it's a real treat for them too.

06 - How to fit?

A pair of shoes or hiking will be ideal. This type of shoe provides a good grip on the ground (important during takeoff and landing) and good ankle support on uneven terrain.

07 - I'm dizzy. Is it a problem to a paragliding baptism?

This is a recurring issue that has unfairly hampered many candidates for the discovery of the glider, which is unfortunate, because the vertigo does not exist in a paraglider!

The concept of vertigo occurs only when you come into contact with the ground (cliff top of a ladder, ...). In paragliding, you are comfortably seated in the harness, and you no longer have contact with the ground. Just enjoy your flight ...


08 - How are the takeoff, flight, and landing a paraglider?


Takeoff: 3-4 step forward to inflate the wing, followed by a run of a few meters to take off.
From the third a run, we already feel the veil that supports. The following will be trampled more light and air.
Then it's off: magical and unforgettable moment! No one ever has felt the impression of "jumping into the void". It took off very smooth.

Flight: You are sitting in front of the monitor, as comfortably seated in an armchair. You just have to enjoy it up!
If conditions permit, you can even fly the glider yourself with the instructions of the monitor near you ...

Landing: We will return to standing position, legs down. Some small movements to stretch your legs after 10-20 minutes of flight. You look closer and the ground is already starting to run into the air to prepare for contact with him.
Here, as for takeoff, and it stands a few steps forward.

Note: Only the parachute "jump", the paragliders take off like planes ... or birds!



09 - What makes you get fresh air?


Monitors that take you all are graduates, State Certificate paragliding, and able to take passengers in tandem paragliding. They are all experienced pilots, enthusiasts, who will put you at ease and provide you with the magic of flight.



10 - Is it dangerous?

No, paragliding is a sport called "at risk", but only if performed under extreme conditions or inappropriate.
Monitors who accompany you are competent and responsible drivers, and have to worry about your pleasure in conditions of maximum safety.



12 - Should be sporty?

No, this is not a requirement.
