A busy but fun couple of weeks

Posted on July 06, 2012 in Maren Ludwig   

It’s been a really busy and fun couple of weeks with lots of tandem flights, student training, some ridge soaring on our local sand dunes and some really great motor flights as well. Pretty exciting and rewarding to be responsible for people’s first paragliding flights, either solo and tandem and to see all those huge smiles. Makes you feel pretty lucky for sure.

We did take some time to go explore some really great scenery along the Oregon Coast. Takeoff and landing is still not permitted from the beaches at this point, but we’re working on getting that fixed and we’re using some alternate areas for launching and landing in the meantime. Great fun to enjoy all those stunning views with the motor that you wouldn’t be able to see otherwise.

Tried the sporty Octane FLX with my sporty Zenith and it was amazing! It’s so responsive, it’s incredible! You can do some really big weight shift only turns that way. Comes in pretty handy if you need to use your hands working a camera. Still got a big smile on my face just thinking how fun this motor moves through the air. I’m loving every minute with it!
