Extreme Sports : Paragliding

Paragliding is a very exiting and adrenaline rushing sport. It consists of a foot launched kite / canopy that requires no energy other than wind, gravity, and pilot muscle power. Typical rides can last over an hour as the wind carries you through drafts and air currents.

There are two types of Para gliders, the typical paraglide which is the most common, and the newer powered Para gliders which are also fun. Whichever you use make sure to be aided by experts. Below are many online resources with info on the sport and how to begin, there are many safe and cheap schools which take you on guided tours and give classes.

It is important to note that it is very similar to hand gliding, if you are interested in that sport go to our hand gliding area.

Good Luck and Have Fun,

Duncan Davis
