Students will also experience the content of initial ground parachute control training in the next course.
• This course is the first step on the paragliding learning ladder.  This is a way for students to understand what it is like to fly a paraglider and what training is required.  Learning to paraglide is fun, but it also takes a lot of time and effort.  Take this opportunity to get to know your coach and determine if he is a good fit for your needs.
