Pleasing tourists for the moment, by flying the tandem. Still very happy with my Niviuk Takoo.
I have to thank Carmen and Sergio for flying with us. Scratching for 40 minutes, madre mia. Couldn't get higher up than take off, winds were dying off by seconds.
Briefing the passenger is always a moment of concentration. You need the make the passenger feel at ease. Not too much at ease, you want them to be listening to your 'commands' like running, sitting, getting legs out. And if they feel comfortable, let them do the flying, or at least let them do the weightshifting. Another important item on our tandem courses in Spain, was the emphasis on having contact with the passenger. Once every other minute asking if they are comfy, if they feel ok. You want them to enjoy it. You don't want to scare them. You want them to tell their friends to do it as well.
