Tandem Paragliding
is something that is impossible to describe with words. The
coastal vistas from the cliffs of San Mateo (Pacifica and
Daly City), and San Francisco (Near Fort Funston) are amazing.
While paragliding, you get a "birds-eye" view that
is not possible in almost any other way. Often on Tandem Paragliding
Flights, we fly above the 600 foot cliffs of Daly City and
can see San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. In flights
from Mountains (Special Arrangements are necessary), we can
fly over some of the most beautiful terrain in the world.
Tandem Paragliding
is the solution for you to get in the air without extensive
training. In a tandem paragliding flight, you will experience
Paragliding and if you desire, you will even learn to steer
the paraglider. The tandem paragliding flights and most lessons
are within 25 minutes of most San Francisco and San Mateo
Locations. If you have interest in a full paragliding lesson
program and learning to fly on your own, please go to my
lessons page. Tandem paragliding can be a great way
to start begin your training either way. Tandem paragliding
flights are included and combined with the Unlimited
Lesson program.
In a Tandem Paragliding
Lesson, the Instructor flies a glider that is built for 2
and can handle over a 500 lb payload. A brief introduction
to the techniques necessary and what not to do is done before
the flight. This is a same day experience where the instructor
manages the safety and the student gets to experience the
amazing experience of soaring in a paraglider first hand.
The instructor manages the take off and landing, but in the
air the student pilot can take control of the brakes and steer
the paraglider. If you are going to do a Tandem Lesson, it
is required that you read the document "Tandem
- How It Works" prior to the scheduled lesson.
If you are interested
in learning to Paraglide, but have not yet fully decided to
go for a complete program, a Tandem Flight is one of the best
ways to assess this. If you do a Tandem Flight and then decide
it is for you, you can apply the lesson fee toward an unlimited
package.
Tandem Lessons
last a minimum of 20 minutes. To get an idea of what a tandem
flight is like, a friend of a recent Tandem Student filmed
3 flights and sent me the following film. There are two versions
of the same film (both need a higher speed connection - not
recommended for dial up), for most of you try using the Tandem.wmv
version (this will play in Windows Media Player). A higher
quality version is available if you have the correct codec
for DivX Tandem.avi
(this will play in Quick Time, Media Player or a DivX player
with the correct codec). In the start of this film, you will
see me taking my daughter Gabrielle up in very light conditions.
We flew most of the way to a better launch for the other Tandem
flights.
Tandem flights
are also included as part of the Private / Semi-Private Lesson
programs whenever flying conditions permit. If you are more
interested in a complete program, please go to the Lessons
Page.
