Paragliding at Mara Lake

For some inexplicable reason I decided to enroll in another paragliding course - on advanced maneavours this summer. For the last couple of years I get out for about 5 flights a year. Glenn at Paraglide Canada I met way back in Canmore flying 15+ years ago. The idea with the course is to have an instructor in a boat on a lake giving directions over radio to deal with situations that may occur in flight. Create the incident and then solve the problem. Land and do it again. We did a few full stalls - stopping the wing flying by reducing airspeed - and then getting it started again. Here is a youtube video of someone else doing it.
