Paragliding Spain

Paragliding in Spain involves some knowledge about weather systems, local info about the flying site, etc... especially this time of the year. Because it is so easy to be caught out with crosswinds, gust fronts, overdevelopment etc... .
Today we had to rely on forecasts, and what we saw and felt in the air.
Midday flying was superb, with a days' best for Hoppy under his Sky-glider.


Later in the afternoon, it got all too much, with development in the back, crosswind on top of it. So we shot off to the coast where we had a little bit of more relaxed flying.






I enjoyed it at the most today. I am sure my guests learned a lot about our sites, the weather, and litlle tricks that can mean big differences in flying.
