Learning to Paraglide in Santa Barbara

  • March 8, 2008
  • Rated 5 of 5 by parahead from ventura, California
This past summer, I spent two days learning to paraglide with Eagle Paragliding in Santa Barbara, CA. My mom bought me a gift certificate for my birthday, so I took my girlfriend over to Santa Barbara with me both days. We spent most of the morning learning to control the glider over our heads. By the afternoon, Kevin told my I was ready for my first flight. I pulled the glider up and ran down the hill. The wind picked me up and there I was flying!!! It was amazing. Each flight was about 20-30 seconds, and I got 4 flights in that afternoon. The second day, I was ready to fly in the morning, so I got 10 flights in. I used to have dreams of flying when I was a kid. Now I have dreams of paragliding every few months. Once I get enough money for the equipment, I will definitely be signing up for the full lessons. I would recommend this to anyone seeking some adventure. I never knew how cool it was until I was actually up in the air flying. The second day, the weather was good for flying, so one of the instructors took her on a tandem flight at the coast. She loved it.
