While paragliding, your arms feel like wings controlling the paraglider above you; your flying position is as comfortable as a recliner. There's no leaping from cliffs – just a smooth glide away from the training hill. The Paraglider launches gradually from a smooth slope, flies at a slow, relaxing speed, and lands gently, making the sport attractive to almost anyone. If you're mentally and physically fit, between the ages of 12-75 years old, you can learn to fly solo on your first day. Take advantage of this excellent opportunity, because this is the only place in California where solo flights are available on your first day!

No experience is necessary to experience this adventure of a lifetime.
