      @@hommuside I feel super safe there. However, paragliding is more dangerous the closer you fly to the ground as that’s where you risk impact. Just need to always make sure you have an out and be extra careful flying with a tail wind. Also set up lower down on the beach so as not to get blown over the back. I’ve been meaning to do a “flying the dunes 101” video. The dunes being low does require winds to be a bit stronger to fly them, but I’m often surprised with what I can get away with. For me personally, this low style of proximity flying is my favourite.

    Sadly at the turn off to Blueys on the right hand side from Lakes Way to the first hill opposite the caravan park the bushland has had all of its giant gum trees destroyed for you guessed it a Retirement Village. Cannot imagine how this got through council. Set to add many more aged people to the area with medical and social services already stretched to the limit. Shameless destruction of untouched koala habitat. Developers and corrupt councils doing their best to destroy our environment and burden these once quiet areas with thousands of retirees and helping to make house and land prices unaffordable for any local young people while changing the demographics of the area forever. Please voice your opinions. When you see it you will be shocked. We already have a housing problem in the area for our local people. More aged people will just add to the problems already faced here. Forster and Hallidays Point are being inundated with these large retirement village developements where they pack as many units or houses as possible into a small space adding hundreds more aged people. At the same tme there is no expansion of the many different services to care for them and that are already stretched to the limit. Disgrace. Some awesome shots there.

    • @AussieDangerDave
      @AussieDangerDave 6 місяців тому

      @tzgardner It varies depending on the harness and the cockpit, but generally they connect to your caribiners or the webbing below. Eg. I found the charly better through the webbing on my success 4 harness. I do like the lighter weight and softer materials of the supair myself.

    @sebastiennoir9758 6 місяців тому

    Anyone able to compare it with the Tenor (1 or 2)?

    • @AussieDangerDave
      @AussieDangerDave 6 місяців тому

      @sebastiennoir9758 Tenors are a bit more rolley and playful apparently, and yet the beat (particularly the beat 2) provide more feedback (hence Beat 2 not recommended as a first wing) and have slightly better performance in general. Can't compare from experience but that's the general gist of what I've heard if that helps at all. Another thing is the standard versions of both have the option for the comfort risers which are more chunky and easier to manage on launch, so that might be something to consider between the light and standard versions. Quite a few riser options with PHI as a brand, including the R07's.

    • @Chris.E
      @Chris.E 6 місяців тому

    Hi Dave! so cool to see a small remix of my Symphonia 2 spiral video in your edit haha :) Definitely I would have preferred the Beat 1 design to remain as is with new colors rather than this weirdness. How about thermals, have you also tried it in non coastal soaring but rather mountain thermalling conditions ? I'm considering it as an upgrade. In coastal soaring I guess you could go on an EN-C without too much trouble and have the same kind of review results especially in light winds...

    • @AussieDangerDave
      @AussieDangerDave 7 місяців тому

      Hey mate! Lovely spirals, thank you! Sadly being winter I've had zero chance for any thermalling however the legends at FlyBubble have so check out their review for a bit of feedback on that. What I can say is I like the brake pressure, the increase in speed and usability on the speed bar compared to my old low b hook 5 and the glide does seem excellent. It's a lovely "feeling" wing and a pleasure to fly all be it with a wrap because the lines are long. No one should be accidentally stalling this thing lol Depending on your skill level and experience it's a very stable/reassuring wing, but if you want that extra performance on bar and xc is your primary focus than a high B might be a better choice. I primarily fly coastal and rarely get the chance to fly xc so it's perfect for me. If you're cranking those spirals like that though you're probably good for a high B lol
