Paragliding Guatemala - 13,000 ft launch from Acatenango Volcano!

[@DomesticDave]

WOW, to get a round of applause from golfers after landing on their fare-way, now that's a first. Great flight Buddy.

I had butterflies watching this. Going through those thick clouds seemed as if everything was lost and you could just smack into a mountain with no heads up. Your the man!

[@jaypalmerittas4607]

Awesome. Amazing views of the volcano. Thanks for sharing.

Que pasada, vaya forma de bajar el Acatenango!!!

[@cameraotoko]

The place we were staying organized all of the logistics. We chartered a helicopter and flew from the La Reunion Golf Course to the summit.

[@brenton2617]

Wow.....that is some amazing footage! It's true what they say.....there's no place like cloud base :)

[@samanwahhab]

this is really the best one I ever see ... Weldon

This was my first time launching in high altitudes, the wing certainly behaved differently at 13,000 feet trying to launch. The winds were a bit squirrely and about 45 degrees cross to the slope we launched from, and the slope was very steep making for poor footing on the pebble sized volcanic rock. I attempted about 5 reverse launches, but each time I turned the wing just fell back. Afterwards I switched to a forward launch and got off on the first attempt.

You found friendly golfers, that's kind of like a new specie :)

[@cameraotoko]

Thanks. I wouldn't say it's hard. But it certainly takes time to learn and be proficient and understand the risks involved.

[@rayochapin]

[@oscarteo4264]

espectacular eres un genio. me gustaria saber si las temperaturas en el vilcan son diferentes que a las de abajo. saludos de un chapin

[@AlexTriana]

La diferencia es notable. Arriba la temperatura en la noche llega a -1 a veces a menos, abajo 14-16 grados

[@eddyaldana8314]

[@AdamGoodsellOfficial]

buenos tardes. Voy a subir con speed wing pronto. quieres volar?

[@Windummie]

Very nice vid and flight, I am planning a flying trip to Guatemala this winter. Any chance you could provide some background re. logistics? For example how did you get to that launch?

[@DUGLAS2060]

Que maravilloso soy de Acatenango me encanta lo que hacen mi sueño seria poder hacerlo es increible, saludos amigos

[@drummerdude0017]

Looks awesome man.. I've always wanted to try something like that. But I always have a little fear for strong winds and clouds. How where conditions at take-off? was it very difficult?

[@knockout818]

Props man. I'm from Guatemala, is para gliding hard? Seems fun. Later

[@samhiatt]

Man, nice ride through the cloud slolum! Yeah, I bet that flight will be hard to beat! How long was the hike up?

[@samhiatt]

Oh, I just read the comments. Helicopter, eh? Cheater. ;)

[@messnby]

[@SphaeroX]

[@robertsontirado4478]
