A Tandem paragliding discovery flight with Free Spirit Paragliding makes it possible for almost anyone to fulfill the dream of flight.

With appropriate assistance and favorable wind and weather, tandem paragliding allows even those with some physical limitations to experience the freedom flying like a bird.

80 year olds and 6 year old kids (with parental authorization) have enjoyed tandem paragliding

If you can run a few steps on a gentle slope you can fly with a tandem paragliding instructor at the flight controls running behind you steering and controlling the paraglider.

We have been blessed to share flying tandem with people that may have some physical limitation includings folks that are blind, deaf, people in wheelchairs, Iraqi war vets with artificial limbs. Its great to see their smiles as they experience the freedom of flight.

Average tandem paragliding flights last from 20 minutes to 45 minutes.

Some flights last over an hour when the conditions are favorable.
Plan on being at Tiger mountain for 2 to 3 hours or possibly longer including the travel time up the mountain.
Tiger Mountain Shuttle offers a ride to the top of the mountain for $15
The Tiger shuttle leaves the Landing field at 12:30, 2:30, 4:45 and 6:15 pm every day that it is flyable.
Look for a blue van with a black rack on top parked near the wooden paragliding information kiosk. The ride up the hill to our mountain launch takes about 45 minutes.

If you can overcome any preconceived thoughts about flying, what other self imposed limitations can you overcome in your life ?

As a NLP training facilitators we havwe worked with hundreds of people who walked across hot coals in firewalking experiences at Anthony Robbins Unlimited Power and Mastery University workshops.

I remember the first time I did a firewalk I was in line behind an 11 year old girl. It was an memorable reference experience that expanded my beliefs about what is possible when we move beyond our fears to take action.
A tandem paragliding flight could be a similar experience for you or a loved one.
It is amazing what you can do when you are not stopped by limiting beliefs.

Many people who thought tandem paragliding is an extreme sports adrenaline rush are surprised by the tranquility they experience after the initial adrenaline rush of flying away from the mountain.
Our team of tandem pilots have been flying paragliders for over 10 years and have logged over 1,100 flights.
Paraglide Tandem Paragliding works with several tandem paragliding instructors certified by the United States Hanggliding and Paragliding Association. USHPA
With advance notice we can arrange for multiple tandem paragliding pilots to fly more than one person at the same time

Paraglide Tandem Paragliding uses the latest safety equipment including a tandem paraglider designed to carry the weight of two people.

Each person has their own harness to sit in while flying.
The passenger and instructor are connected together with spreader bars. You get the best views!
We organize our equipment and do a simulation before our actual launch so you know what to expect.
The instructor double checks your buckles and straps, clips you in, and you get s you prepared for a nice launch cycle.

When the wind is right we count down 3-2-1 Run.
We get the wing flying before we leave the ground by running together on a gentle slope as the wing comes overhead into the flying position.

We run a few steps and then are lifted gently off the ground.
How long the flight last depends on conditions.

If you prefer hiking the vertical climb is about 1500 feet and takes about an hour.
You must coordinate your arrival time on top with the tandem pilot.

Please carry a cell phone if you hike.
