I went to the Training Hill today in Santa Barbara and got a real nice thermal up and over launch. About an 8 minute flight, and I caught most of it on my GoPro Hero camera. If you want to see what flying a paraglider can be like without a motor, You'll enjoy this. Nice gentle thermal - up, up and away! It's really fun to track the lift using a small variometer and the visual of a bird here and there getting a bug as it gets sucked up off the ground. The video ran out of memory just before I came back in for a nice top landing (and a round of applause). Really, a very special little flight!
