Introduction courses

We run introduction courses daily at our school which lasts half a day where the complete novice can experience the very first steps to the wonderful world of free flight. The dunes are very safe to try out paragliding and we only do the introductions  in the mornings when its calm and before the wind comes up and thermals get to rough. It is a fun day and a very rewarding one.

 

Beginners courses

The course consists of launch techniques, Basic theory, Flight techniques, Flight planning techniques, Landing approach techniques, Landing and basic recovery techniques and basic licensing exam.
