Post by nik peterson »

Ok guys-
Now I know you all think that kite surfing is the best thing since sliced bread, but I must atleast try to get some of you paraglide. It is a passion I have that I cannot mute. I'll agree with you that kite surfing is fun and a good time is had by all, but paraliding is some invisable interconnected medium that you find yourself in and when your in it you feel larger than life.
There is a very small group of us that go out and go flying when ever we can. I just want to invite all of you to check it out. Maybe even go for a tandem flight...
There is a ton of info on the net and here are just a few links which I believe in: 4superfly.com, thehookproductions.com, ojinternational.com
cheers

Thats right Jerry. Its a place we have been to with 2 roaads, one N/S and one E/W. Its a wide open area with no fences or power lines, plus the farmers are cool with us being in certain places. R1234RT CLEAR!
If you guys want to go and we can't chat online, give me a call, I will be out there all day. Do you guys know of a closer place with enough space to fly?
See ya'
