More details of what we do daily on facebook.

A very good last weeks behind.  Lots of differents sites, high cloudbase.  But now since yesterday, not the best to say the least.  Today it was way to unstable to even think about it.

But  in a couple of days we'll be happy to look for shade as it is gonna get hot in valleys after landing.

We are blogging in Facebook every day under Doyouwanna,

 Best paragliding destination for the family ?

I think it is Alicante.  Alicante has it all.  Flying sites, coastal and inland, best beaches in Europe, superb climate, ice cream and the world region for paella.

What are you looking for ?  A place to go fly and meanwhile please your partner and kids ?

See you this summer, give us a call, we'll organise it.

Guiding in Alicante, you are all very welcome.  Make sure you are fit, ready to fly our thermals, ready to fly our numerous sites.  We'll help you out having access to all our sites, take care of comfortable accommodation and a rent a car for affordable price.

We still have space till end of june 2013, hope to see you.   Lets chill and fly, after all it is a vacation,and in the sun !!

Ready for all this guys.  Springseason arriving.  We'll be happy to see you again, and join us flying our sites near Alicante.  Still places for april and may, hope to hear from you soon.

Lets hope we can guide you again, on our numerous mountain hills, and seasites.

This helmet sticker will be offered again to all guests flying in Alicante. It won't get you free beer, neither a dance with our female president of the club. But carpeted take offs, and new bulletin boards.
Thanks a lot coming down and contributing saving our sites, and maintaining them. Cheers you all !

Oh price for a sticker, 5 (YES 5, FIVE) euros for this helmet sticker, for a whole year. We're nuts ain't we, but we like it that way. All together it makes the difference.

Postcardsd views from last years flying.  2012 was great, and extreme nice flights were done at the end of it, when nobody expected it any more.

High cloudbase at Palomaret, s'plendid flights with a view at the coastline, and rougher tougher flights more in land when westernwinds were blowing.

2013 looks like having a good start.   Already flights at Toix and Peña Rubia.

Lets hope you follow us through facebook, check out DOYOUWANNA , it is public, so no strings attached.

Hope all is well.

Hot hot hot Spain

It has been a very very hot june month.   And we have been very very aware of strong winds at height.  And overdevelopments inland.   That's why we have flewn daily, but late afternoon.   Boaty conditions ?  I don't think so.  A bit of everything.  Strong thermals, punchy stuff, relaxed soaring, high cloudbase, low cloudsbase, just what our guests wished for.

Daily info on our public FACEBOOK account.  Daily info.

Never ending flights, day by day

Hello guys, neve rending thermals, and in between never ending soaring days.   It has been awesome lately.  But to get full reports of what we do it is better to follow us at Facebook,  just look for Doyouwanna, and like us !

Today my new wing Skywalk Cayenne4 came in, if you want to hear what I feel about it, check FB.

Caudete

Palomaret, Cabo, Caudete, lots of flying last days.   Temperatures 25 - 30 degrees, depending if close to the refreshing beaches or more inland where a cool breeze is missing.

 We have bben flying our tits off and you know that.  We haven't stopped this week, every day we had superb flights, good fun. 
French pilots, british and belgian pilots.    All eager to leave early, beat the heat, and get in the air.   I was so knackered by the end of the day that I only blogged on FB, so get FB doyouwanna and you get a more detailled blog from now on.

I just read the new Cross Country magazine, man Bruce Goldsmith is my man.  What he says about the speed of a glider, I can only agree.  I always said that comps are fantastic but are in struggle with the real mean of a paraglider flight.
There is no need to fly that fast, if you want pleeeeaaaaaaase go ahead, but it is for lots of pilots absolutely not necessary.
We can live with a slow flying glider, lots lower stall speed, enjoying high flights still, but also fly low over the hills, smelling herbs, touching treetops, kissing slopes etc... .

Talk to you soon, a new DVD Jocky please, speed to fly is outdated now, and you're the boss !  Excellent words from Jocky as well in the latest XC magazine.

Midsummer feeling

 Midsummer feelings.   Flights, beachtime, a drink,  siesta, flying again, and late home.

Lately I haven't been blogging daily.  Because lots of days got home late because of the flying.  But also because the blogging goes better through facebook.  So if you like this blog,and you want to know what is going on in Alicante with us Doyouwanna, just check facebook and look for Doyouwanna.   Daily updates of what we do.

Tuesday Toix

 First time always impressive to fly at Toix.   Bullet proof take off, nudist beach landing, flightwith splendid views, and here and there a puff of lavendel scent.

Cracking day.

Cabo de Santa Pola,

The soap continues.

Lately we had some very serieus accidents at our famous soaring home site Cabo de Santa Pola.    English pilot and spanish pilot both broke their back and both were in the fault flying the site at this time.

Those accidents made so much noise, it was all over in the press.   Politicians of the town Santa Pola, were ordering an urgent meeting.  Police chiefs were invited at the reunion to tell them their story about the accidents etc… .   A big mess.

Now this week we had a reunion with several authorities, politicians, police chiefs etc…

They listened to us and understood we have been neglected for years as an important part of the tourism industry, the sport industry in the region.   But they made us clear that this couldn’t go on forever, that some steps had to be made.

In short, pilots need to be member of the federacion.  Local pilots can stop visiting pilots when meteo conditions are not optimal, or technique of visiting pilot is not adequate to fly our site.   And, believe me that happens as well, when visiting pilots appear with not certified equipment, no reserve etc… .

Information boards will be put on different places near the take off, so nobody can neglect them anymore.   You will be asked to check the conditons through local pilots, school, clubs, us Doyouwanna.

So please, for the love of the sport, please respect this little rules.   They could have been worse.

I read the Skywings article from Steve Walsh, Attitude may 2012.   If you are british, read last alinea, and you will understand how I feel sometimes.  

For three years already we ask you to fly with a 5 euro helmet sticker.   This 5 euro goes to a special account, to maintain the sites clean and hassle free.   You only pay 5 euros for a whole year and this for flying all the sites near Alicante.

Flying with this sticker doesn’t mean though, that you can do whatever you want on our sites. 

For a very affordable democratic price, you can be guided, fly more than anyone else, and safer.   Andmaybe most important, fly together with the local pilots.

If you don’t agree with all this above, maybe you shoud choose another destination to play.

Hope to see you all guys,

Nick, Kath y Paco
