We request that all students check in for a weather evaluation the evening before, and oftentimes the morning of your session prior to your home departure. We would prefer to not have you drive out to the coast to sit in the rain at least as much as you would! That said, we do have [...]

For our training locations in the Pacific Northwest: We have a fairly liberal cancellation policy, but we would appreciate at least 48 hours advance notice to allow time to schedule others to take your place. Within 24 hours there will be a 50% cancellation fee. Groups of 4 or more require 72 hours advance notice [...]

Short flights off the beginner hill or via our towing system usually occur by the end of the first (or second) day with any of our solo training programs. To become educated enough to make your own flight decisions normally takes between 9 to 14 days of instruction. Afterwards you can become certified with the [...]

One of the best ways to get an introduction to Paragliding is through our Introductory Tandem Experience package. Or, if you would prefer a solo introduction, you have the option of signing up for a One or a Two Day Introductory Course. Or, if you are already convinced that paragliding is for you, you can also sign up [...]
