Paragliding-NSW
 

Anyone done it and can recommend a good spot to give it a go ?!

Re: Paragliding-NSW
 

Are you looking for a quick tandem flight (just rock up and let the instructor do the work while you enjoy the view) or at getting your solo pilot certification (a 9 day course) ?

Here's a sample of the view from the air in a 5 minute clip I took on a recent flight...


I am in Melbourne and fly mainly around VIC but have plenty of friends in the sport around the country and know all of the main instructors in each state so if you are considering any particular school/instructor to fly with or complete your training course I can give you the word on them ;-)

Here is the list :

Have fun :thumbsup:

Presumably it depends slightly on whereabouts you are in NSW unless you intend driving for 10 plus hours just to get there ;)

Going to be travelling down the coast and around to WA so doesn't matter !

DownUnderPaddy-looking at doing a tandem flight to try it-PM me if you want with any recommendations.

Try Stanwell Park south of Sydney. The paragliders jump off at a spot called Bald Hill and land in the park/beach below.

Cant think of any companies off the top of my head, so just google Stanwell Park.

Have fun, looks great. :thumbsup:

Any of the above operations I would recommend. All very experienced guys.

Have fun and after you get your knees in the breeze you will understand why the birds sing :D
