Extended edition! How do you improve your paraglider control? What moves make you stand out? I’ve collected the most important skills for you to master in The Secrets of Paraglider Control. When I see pilots nailing these ten things, I know they are mastering their wing control.
This extended edition offers detailed guidance to help you succeed with each step.
Want to get really good wing control? Master these skills:
1. On the launch site, holding the brakes, watching wing -> holding Cs, watching the gusts/timing
2. in the pullup, getting plucked and dumped -> run back
3. in launching, running upright -> control stance
4. in flying, balancing on the brakes -> free hands
5. in thermaling, wide turns -> turning tight
6. in turbulence, pitching and rolling -> active flying
7. in gliding, security jabs -> accelerated
8. in landings, overshooting -> effective setups
9. in flares, not enough speed -> swoop flare
10. in wind, brakes drag -> killing it!
