Today was a great day flying at Whidbey once the winds died down just a tad from their more forceful morning gusts. I arrived around 12:30 in the afternoon to find that there were maybe 25 pilots either scattered about the launch area, else huddled in masses for…
When many people think about paragliding, they wonder what on earth would prompt somebody to jump off of a cliff into the sky.’Never mind that we don't actually jump ’rather, we just run down-hill until taking flight. Yet even among those who understand the process a bit better…
I had the best flight of my flying career so far last Sunday at Tiger Mountain . The skies were clear, winds were light, and the lift was abundant. I had three flights that day. The first was a launch off of North Tiger which lasted 24 minutes…
I had a mildly harrowing flight today off of Tiger Mt. Conditions were questionable, from either North or South launch. On the South launch, winds were cycling from 3-15 MPH, driven mostly by sun-heated atabatic flow, in cycles lasting about two minutes long. In the lulls, however, the…
