Colombia Paragliding Jams || February 2024
I spent a week in Valle de Cauca around my birthday last February. With a strong El Niño winter the conditions in Colombia were dry and amazing! The site record was re-set many times this season and over all there were probably 10 times more epic days than a normal season.
I didn't really film with any intent to make a video so I just tossed some beautiful moments from 2 or 3 of the flights into this video. I flew the same route everyday I was there and was working toward the 200km FAI. I never got it but I was close on 2 days where I set all the points and just bombed out before getting back to Zarzal.
Quick stats: 6 days of flying. Over 100 flown miles everyday. No real collapses. No real scary moments from over pushing. A safe and most excellent smash and grab to Roldanillo. Grateful to team fly with lots of friends and enjoy the beauty and hospitality of Colombia once again!
This is the track from the main flight when most of the video was taken:

Little solo Truss lap in the evening light last weekend. The water was cold, the light was beautiful, and vibrations tip top. Enjoy the solitude!
Sawtell Peak, ID - Cross Country Paragliding
Переглядів 660День тому
An absolutely epic high pressure smokey day of flying in Eastern ID / Southwest Montana. I didn't have huge expectations for the day, I just liked how there was very light wind forecasted and it was a new flying site for me to explore. Turned out to be one of my favorite flights of the Summer and I got to traverse some truly incredible terrain. The Centennial Mountains, Over Quake Lake, and thr...
Blossom Valley Paragliding || 12-1-24
Переглядів 220День тому
Such a cool little site outside of San Diego, CA. I've flown this spot twice now and it just seems to work. Even on low stable days, if you're patient, you can make some XC-style moves to get on and feel some bigger mountain terrain in the same little fish bowl. Would be great to fly here on a tall Summer day and really go explore the route to the Northeast. I knew it was going to be nice light...

Winter 2024 was a HIGHWATER season. It was epic. I was the old guy sending it with the young hooligans. Can only dream of more seasons like this in the Gorge - Please please thank you! Enjoy the shred clips and big shout out to the team for a safe winter of hard paddling. Few honorable mentions: Highest descent of upper LW 2nd highest descent of Lower LW Galen, Sam, Owen - Highest descent of Sp...
Waka Kayaks Stoke - Shredding Veracruz, Mexico
Переглядів 3,4 тис.2 місяці тому
After paddling the Waka Stoke for 4-5 months on lots of different styles of whitewater in the Pacific Northwest, I had little doubt that the Stoke would be an amazing boat choice for my guiding trip to Mexico. The Stoke is 9 feet long, has a nice balanced bow rocker, a bit more narrow than the OG & Steeze, and has a hybrid stern that gives this full creek boat a half slice like feeling in a lot...

Enchantments Proxy Soaring
Переглядів 4895 місяців тому
A special day in the Enchantments. First off, I never fly this close to the cliffs and mountains on a normal day, and I would never recommend it. However, I am very familiar with this range and conditions in this valley...the clouds developed and covered all direct sun light. I had my doubt on wether or not it would work to even get past the corner (the first col I fly over in the video) There ...

Cliffside to Dog Mtn - XC Flying
Переглядів 3016 місяців тому
Our little Gorge Flight from Cliffside to White Salmon. It's nothing crazy or huge, but it's great training. The further West you make it the more beautiful it gets! It was quite windy and the average speed on this flight is 30kph. 80km flight in less than 3 hours. The landing was a bit more spicy than I wanted it to be but pulled it off just fine. If there was a train I would have ended up lan...
Paragliding the North Cascades - 145km FIA - Leavenworth, WA
Переглядів 6306 місяців тому
One of the most classic, but intimidating triangles in the USA. There is still so much room to push the distance and explore more into the deepness on this route. I labeled a lot of the mountains and areas so you can check out some maps to get an idea of the surrounding areas. I flew over a few of my favorite rivers and visited lots of my favorite mountains on this particular flight. Enjoy the ...
