"When the wind is strong and you lean back into wind when you pull up, it shoots up very quickly."

"You cannot feel the real wind while you are flying. What you feel is the AIRFLOW, which always comes from the front. The WIND can blow from any direction, but it doesn't blow towards you because you move WITH all the air, as you move THROUGH it."

"Always think to yourself, where can I move to, to make it easier for these pilots to manouvre? Defensive flying is about making SPACE."

"The more you learn about paragliding, the higher you get. Where can you learn more?"
