The experience
If you want to go paragliding, but would first like to get to know our sport properly, you can do so by taking a Paragliding Trial Lesson from Golden Moments.
This activity consists of three educational tandem flights per person with an experienced KNVvL certified instructor/tandem pilot.
You will receive detailed instructions in advance about:
- the material used;
- weather (wind direction and force);
- flight plan (what is possible and what are your wishes).
Then you will take a flight with one of our instructors/tandem pilots. During these flights you will receive extensive practical explanation and of course you can steer the largest part of the flight yourself and (if you want) the instructor/tandem pilot can (within safe margins) perform faster flight maneuvers to demonstrate what is possible with a paraglider and how that feels as a (co)pilot. In that case, the flight is shorter, but guaranteed to be more sensational than the coolest roller coaster!
There is a danger involved; paragliding is addictive. After your Paragliding Trial Lesson you may book a course right away!
