Thanks Peter. Happy you liked it.

[@skeetzoid]

Watching your video I just realized that I'm not using the full range of the brake toggles to control the wing. I've been too timid in asserting control for fear of stalling it. This video is very clear and informative!

[@clearcloudparagliding]

Glad it helped Romano. Yes, you can apply a lot of brake, even hands all the way down sometimes. Just be aware of the force in your toggles.

Thank you

[@idanghelber8282]

You missed a technique, flip the wing upside down and kite up in backfly
Lots of fun and also works great in some scenarios. For example if it's really windy and you want to be sure you won't get lifted off before you call it. Putting it in backfly while handling uphill will ensure that you won't get lifted before you decide it's time to go and flip the wing back over right side up.

[@clearcloudparagliding]

Thanks Idan. I'll have to try the backfly uphill. Sounds cool.

[@windsailsurf]

@@clearcloudparagliding me too

[@chestbech]

Do you have a video of that? It sounds like a great risk of getting dragged when reaching the top

Are the reserve always carried by seniors n beginners with any condition?

We don't carry reserves at the beach since we fly low. But in the mountains we always do.
