Paragliding

Some pictures from towing the gliders at Lillooet lake near Pemberton.

We didnt get the weather we were hoping for but got a couple of flights in.

The boat was fitted with a tow winch and a jet from Hamilton jet, chch, nz which was cool. this also made it possible to tow gliders from the beach to 3500ft in 2 runs of the lake, i found this idea pretty scary.

This is Emmanuel coming in to land, he had Jim Orava (Canadian Paragliding Champion) on the radio talking him through deep spirals, very exciting to watch.

Short video of a pretty scary take of, in stronger winds the wing comes up fast.
