Hello from Japan. I recently started paragliding and I'm totally into it. Unfortunately, I don't understand English well, but I learned a lot from watching the video. I'm looking forward to videos that will continue to be fun and helpful. Thank you very much.
I love ground handling. It hones fine skills of timing, duration and amount of input that DEFINITELY apply to active wing management when you're in the air. Great job as always, love watching your videos!
Nice! I was just trying to show a friend how to do this at our local beach two days ago. I'll send him over to watch this to get taught properly :) I am really looking forward to the intermediate chapter in the Ground Handling Academy. The Essentials chapter is so good, must have more!
Loved the vid! The part about the open riser position and walking the radius to get the remaining wing tip off the ground was an “Aha!” moment for me. Thank you for taking the time to post this!
Look for the Rodriguez (Sup'air I think) learning clips (both in French & English). He's got a great examples of contolling the wing for beginners, including this back and forth rolling.
Thank you very much Andre, you are BRILLIANT in explaining, You and Gemma teach paragliding simple for to understand, and still safe. I wish you well, best regards for Gemma . God Blesses you both
Really enjoyed this one... I've been playing with / using cobra launch for some time now but I really wasn't getting the body position right. This will be most helpful!
I work in a machine shop and this is how the real wobble emachineshop world works when applied to aviation. I'm still in the ground handling stages and waiting for the flying season and I watch videos all day and I'm going to watch this one again because that last move was profound how could you be in a very light wind situation run around the wing in a circle and I would be above your head?
Thanks for the nice comments Mark. About the last move we do have a lesson about the "wind window" on our online course, so if you're learning and at the groundhandling stage the Groundhandling Essentials course might be useful.
Hi can you help me? Im looking for a ground handling wing for 15 to 20 mph winds at my beach. Im thinking of a mini wing or something like a seed or road runner. Which can you recommend?
I would recomend a groundhandling wind rather than a miniwing. The seed or the roadrunner are both fine, very similar. I perfer the RR because it doesn’t have shark nose and makes flying it upside down and getting the sand out much easier
Hi Martin, it depends on many factors but if you’re going to spend many hours at the beach we recommend the ozone roadrunner, it’s a groundhandling specific wing. We also have a groundhandling bundle available. I’d say that the harness has a impact as big (if not bigger) than the wing. andrebandarra.com/bandarra-pack
If you guys could travel to California and stay at my house that would be great. Tour the west coast and teach me to fly in between. Thousand bucks plus free room for your stay. 🙂
Sure, here's one in 22kn wind from 5 years ago. For sure it's harder to control the wing in general because it pull you a lot, but the actual side control part is easier. Because of the increased airspeed of the canopy you have A LOT more brake authority before the wing stalls
Cela ne gene personne de proposer aux pilotes de changer le calage de leurs voiles ? 10 mm sur les arrieres font sortir la voile de l'homologation. A part pour les pilotes d'essai je ne vois pas l'interet.

Masterpiece. I've been looking for such explainations for monthes. Waiting fot the GH course, thanks a lot :)
Glad it's helpful!
Thank you, Fredy Mercury! From Brazil ...
Good job
Keep doing it
We learn
You grow 🕊
Great content, thanks for taking the time to explain it so detailed and post here.

very educational. this is one of the topics that no one has made yet~ well done~
Thanks! Really good video! I like how you´re giving attention to the small details, that make controlling the wing much easier :)

Looking forward to intermediate! Fun stuff 🪂
Excellent.
Probably one of the most informative videos I’ve seen and learnt from in pg. Thanks !!
Perfection 👌
Wow! Thank you so much for this very helpful explanation and demonstration.
Thank you
Look for the Rodriguez (Sup'air I think) learning clips (both in French & English). He's got a great examples of contolling the wing for beginners, including this back and forth rolling.
Thanks for this. I was trying to get this just yesterday. Knowing that bit about the open stance is key. Great stuff.
Thank you for this video! Will definitely be practicing this with your video!
What is the name of the location? Looks like kitesurfing in the lagoon might be possible as well?
Thank you very much Andre, you are BRILLIANT in explaining, You and Gemma teach paragliding simple for to understand, and still safe. I wish you well, best regards for Gemma . God Blesses you both
I enjoy your all videos i feel relaxed!!!

Amazing video
Andre is brilliant at getting the technique across 👌
Appreciate it. Glad it helps!
Good to see these types of video again. Now, if only you guys weren't on the other side of the pond.
11:40 wow I never ever saw this, I'll try one day LoL Great content and explanation. Thanks so Much
very on point, thanks guys ! useful as I was just doing these exercises last weekend and I see now which mistakes I was making and how to fix them !
Spot on presentation!
Love videos like this. I may even go and ground handle this weekend. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos
Cool lecture!
Thanks for educating!!! Currently, I am just reading reading reading….Will fly soon🤞
Learning so much from this channel. Thanks both :)
Excellent video thank you for posting
Excellent!
Perfect video. Thanks very much!
Very informative, thanks!
Great control

Hi! Which wing do you recommend for ONLY groundhandling in the beach? Thank you!

We also have a groundhandling bundle available. I’d say that the harness has a impact as big (if not bigger) than the wing. andrebandarra.com/bandarra-pack
Would this be the basics of the cobra launch. Would you just start in that same position and then tease the wing up by "pulling the bow string"?
Basically, yes!
If you guys could travel to California and stay at my house that would be great. Tour the west coast and teach me to fly in between. Thousand bucks plus free room for your stay. 🙂
Hello hi best paragliding ❤️
👏👏👏
Algum Brasileiro assistindo sem entender nada? O gringo tem um controle de vela invejável. Parabéns gringo!
Obrigado zuca, basta praticar! Mas olha que tem legendas em português
great..moustache and the pretty
great video. light wind makes it look easy. can you do one with 20kn wind?
Sure, here's one in 22kn wind from 5 years ago. For sure it's harder to control the wing in general because it pull you a lot, but the actual side control part is easier. Because of the increased airspeed of the canopy you have A LOT more brake authority before the wing stalls
I learnt this from you faster than from Theo d B.
