This is our best recommendation if you really want to see what paragliding is all about. We know you've dreamt it, now do it! Fly a paraglider solo! We'll start on the lower slope with the basics, and by the end of the day you'll fly from our 200 foot training hill. Learn how to launch unassisted, turn, approach and land with the greatest of ease! The lesson includes an overview of equipment, controlling the glider on the ground and in the air, flight plans, and a ride back up the hill for your next flight. This Day Lesson includes the use of our state-of-the-art DHV-1 Certified paraglider and harness training equipment. Click here for more about why train with Fly Above All.

Equipment Purchases
A new student should be well into their lessons before deciding to purchase their own equipment. The time spent on the training hill will give both the student and their instructor the opportunity to choose a wing that is best suited to the student's abilities and their intended use. It is your instructor's job to help you select your first wing. Different paragliders have different characteristics and require different skill levels. The guidance of your trusted instructor will ensure that you choose a glider that will give you many hours of safe and fun flight. Used and demo equipment is also available through Fly Above All.
