This is a short go-pro wide vid I made while flying at Kiwanda today. It's nothing special but I figured those kiters who are thinking about getting into paragliding might want to see what it looks like.

Kiwanda is a great playground. Its a super-sized sandbox. You can launch and land from anywhere. No trees or obstacles to worry about. It's about as good as it gets for learning and just screwing around in general.

Lol, and the music lasts longer than the vid, but I like the music so I guess its all good. I'm not much of a video editor.

Looks like fun. How much wind did you have that day? Could you soar higher if you wanted to?

I'd guess it was only blowing about 8 on the beach and 12 at the top of the dune. That's about as light as it can get and still be soarable at kiwanda. It would have been a perfect training day.
