How to center thermals with the paraglider (EN Version)

The supreme discipline here is to center the core in weak conditions and to break as little height as possible with a balanced technique. The main rules are: When it's rising open the circle until the rising again (then screw in), when it sinks close the circle or pull closer to get back into the upwinding zone. The weight is always shifted and it is much worked with the outer brake, so as little power-reducing movements disturb the flow. There are many good books on this topic.

This highly simplified video should give you an idea of ​​how to handle thermal centering - the principle is always the same. Our modern wings show us the rising air masses cleanly and indicate where the strong core and thus the center can be found. Sharpen your senses and try centering in the flow with your wing and the elements!

I wish you a lot of success! ;-)
