During the flight the pilot will explain what he is doing, and allow you some hands-on control of the glider. A paragliding tandem flight is best for the person seeking an exciting one-time experience, with minimum commitment. No experience needed. Just a couple of steps and you will be flying !!!! Ages from 4 to 80 years, and up to 250 pounds.
 
 
Tandem thermal flying is only possible with the appropriate weather conditions. The pilot and passenger get towed up to around 800 feet, and then release from the tow line. At that time, the pilot will start searching for thermals. Once he finds one of these warm and lighter raising air columns he will try to stay inside, and climb as high as he and the passenger agree to go. Sometimes altitudes of 6.000 feet over the ground, and flights of over 2 hours are possible. Vultures often join us, or we join them, since in order to stay longer in the air, we are all searching for the same kind of lift.
