It was quite a strong wind day at Gralha for full sized wings but we still managed to fly a fair bit and do bottom to tops.
Groundhandling at the beach and then slowly climbing the hill and taking off as soon as the wind is strong enough to support out weight.
Then from there you can scratch all the way to the top and beyond! Pretty cool stuff!

A couple of weeks ago (before Europe went into lock down) we went out to fly and Gemma got to practice her new favourite manoeuvre: Top Landing!

So, in this video, Gemma talks us through the process of learning with a few top tips from her perspective. And. of course, some playfulness by Andre.

Andre is super pleased with his new EN-B glider - the Ozone Swift 5 - but Gemma has had a harder time getting comfortable with it. On this day at Gralha Beach, she explores the wing more to decide if and when it is a good idea to move up to a higher performance paraglider...

We all get our lines tangled sooner or later, so in this video I try to give an overview of how I go about getting everything back to normal.

If you have any tips on how you do it leave it down in the comments so that we can all learn together.

Big ears increase your sink rate and are used as a descent technique in paragliding.
Practice them somewhere safe so that you know how they work when you need to use them in a sticky situation.

Come groundhandling with us!
https://www.andrebandarra.com/retreats

Gemma was lucky enough to get a Geo 6 from Ozone to try and as you can tell she was very excited.
As always to took a little tour of the wing looking at features, groundhandled it and then flown.

Turns out it's similar to the Geo5 but a little bit better. Great fun wing and high levels of passive safety.

I wanted to know more about line tension distribution in paragliders so I designed and built a custom system of sensors that is portable and can be used in flight.

It's arduino based and it look me a long time to make as I had no previous experience in complex electronics, PCB design or programming.

It was a great experience and I already have more ideas for the future.

In our pursuit to find "the flight line" we ended up doing loads more flying passes lower and lower to see if we could scratch our way out of it.

I also share some tips on how to maximize flights, by going to minimum sink position when in light lift, and turning in lift rather than flying past it.

Really good fun and good practice to get the skills for those scratchy days!

I've been wanting to do this for a while as hovering is one of my favourite things to do with a paraglider.

It allows you to explore the world around you like a little bird and transition between forward and backwards flight and reach places and do things that you couldn't otherwise. It's awesome.

Give it a try if you have the chance :)

Hard to tell the exact wind strenght but it might have been around 35-45km/h
So we decided it was too much for Gemma because of experience and weight.

So I had a go and it was quite top end for me. Despite the wind noise and effort from pushing into wind I tried to give some reasons why I do things the way I do. Hope it was helpful to someone :)

Book into the Groundhandling retreat here :)
https://www.groundhandlingchallenge.com/retreat

While our friend Olaf was here we had the chance to try his Apco Hybrid paraglider.

It's has a really interesting design, being half double skin, half single skin, that definitely gives it a particular feel.

Gemma and I got to groundhandle it and fly it and found it quite fun and responsive. Definitely is a tool for the right job rather than one for everything but very pleasant none the less :)

Toplanding can be one of the most dangerous things we do when flying paragliders but can also be very useful. There are some key pointers on when to do it, when not to do it and to practice to get better.

I got invited to a hanggliding tow demo day for pilots wanting to try Avian and A-I-R gliders.
It was awesome to see how they do things and tech involved in these awesome machines. A great day out :)

We went out just to see what it was like on the hill and an a normal day turned pretty cool.

It was quite windy to start with so the little wing came out and then as it calmed out it was a case of going up the sizes :)

Really fun day out on the ridge and got to practice more wingovers and failing at the old misty landings :)

Book into the Groundhandling retreat here :)
https://www.groundhandlingchallenge.com/retreat

I know I know, the Dudek Run&Fly is lighter (not by much) but if you didn't know about paragliders isn't this just amazing!? Imagine telling it so some random person on the street. They can leave the ground and fly on something that weighs less than the clothes they have on!? Crazy!

The Ozone XXLite 2 and F*Lite harness is all you need to fly and all together only weights 1.5kg! Wing and harness combined! That's how much water you should drink a day!

Big thanks to Olaf for coming to visit us and letting us try his wing :)

The bad weather continues and today we got up at 7am as that was the only weather window where it might be groundhandleable with a full size wing.

Gemma is clearly a lot better at not over-reacting on the brakes, digging her heels in and making the best of tough conditions!

We also had a strange but nice visit from the Maritime Police!
