A winched launch gives many advantages over the mountain launch and we now recommend this as the preferred option. It is not as sensitive to weather conditions, we don't have to spend time travelling up the mountain. Winched launches have proved to maximise the experience by giving more altitude and airtime.

Your pilot will lay out the glider and prepare the equipment before carrying out a short safety and flight briefing. Then it's into the harness and clip onto the winch line which is attached to our boat on the water. A few short steps bring the glider overhead and we're airborne, cruising out over the lake gaining altitude all the way. Ten minutes later we're at 2500 feet with the boat far below us. Your pilot pulls the release handle and we're flying free.

From here you decide how you want the flight to proceed - Gentle soaring or we can show you the full flight envelope of our gliders, letting you experience spiral dives, wingovers and B-stalls. Chat to your pilot or just relax and enjoy the view, its all up to you.

A soft landing on the lakeside completes your flight, returning you to earth where you can share your excitement with family and friends.

New for this season, we have invested in state of the art equipment that allows us to launch tandem paragliders from the lakeside. Flying this way gives many advantages over the mountain launch and we always recommend this as the preferred option. It is not as sensitive to weather conditions, we don't have to spend time travelling up the mountain.

As with the mountain launch, your pilot will lay out the glider and prepare the equipment before carrying out a short safety and flight briefing. Then it's into the harness and clip onto the winch line which is attached to our boat on the water. A few short steps bring the glider overhead and we're airborne, cruising out over the lake gaining altitude all the way.

From here you decide how you want the flight to proceed - Gentle soaring or we can show you the full flight envelope of our gliders, letting you experience spiral dives, wingovers and B-stalls. Your harness allows you plenty of freedom to look around and take pictures if you wish. Chat to your pilot or just relax and enjoy the view, its all up to you.

A paraglider is often confused with a parasail, which is a vented circular parachute towed behind a boat. Paragliding offers much more of the flying experience. We offer Paragliding flights based on mountain slope take offs or winched up behind our boat.

Our parasailing flights offered are suitable everybody and you can find more detailed information about parasailing by using the menu to the left.
Either way you will experience that feeling of freedom that only free flight offers!
