Paragliding adventures of a pilot flying XC in competitions and scoring in the "top of the middle third."
Flight descriptions, Competition tips, recap of results, and US competition schedule.
Today was a fun day at Cayucos. The hill is a 700' high walk-up that works with a West wind. The forecast was for high winds in the afternoon so we all hit the hill early. Once the wind freshened we all launched into buoyant lift. I was getting the kinks out of my new pod set-up and top-landed to do some adjustments.
The wind came up subtly and soon the sea showed some whitecaps. I headed for the beach a bit later than I should have and landed just as the wind approached the limit for a safe landing.
Great demonstration/explanation of what to do in a high wind landing. Nice blog - added to my blog list.
