Hovering Tips and Tricks - BANDARRA

[@AndreBandarra1]

Wind speed on this day was estimated at 30-33km/h

I wish I knew more of the specifics of hovering before I attempted to do it in Morocco in April 2019. Long story short, strong wind became weaker, I had my brakes waaay too deep, and I quickly found the stall point of my wing. Problem was, I was more than 6 meters off the deck. Collapsed, ended up fracturing my pelvis in two places, dislocating my arm, and broke a couple ribs. Thankfully that's all that happened. Got to ride in my first private jet to be medevaced to NL. Thankfully I am able to learn from these mistakes and fly better than I ever have. Keep up the good work guys!

That's looks like a lot of fun, and also something really good to practice with your wing.

[@jimfuhrman8665]

Well done, both of you! That looks like soooo much fun!

[@nathanbarraud4349]

Very great one ! That's the best feeling and flying style ever !

[@jimcr120]

Well done. My son mostly and I somewhat did something similar on the outer banks of North Carolina. It was actually some playing we did prior to our actual ppg training. I’m eager to go again. I suppose I should post it too.

Where is this? I just got back from a trip to sand city and need more dune flying in my life!

[@alexpopovics3809]

Thank you for the constant uplifting inspiration! Obrigado! 😊👍🙏

[@nogahi70]

Здорово!

[@mimolissimo]

Thank you ! Could you tell me the brand /model of your white cask ? Thanks 🙏

[@SkidzFPV]

I wish I had a beach with a dune close for me to get this kind of practice, closest option is about 4 1/2-5 hours drive, my mountain locations are about an hour, so obviously I fly mostly mountain thermal sites.

[@ripmanridin7092]

What a great soaring session..........good to see you guys out flying finally!

[@WuTangChillaBee]

Wicked! Brings back the feeling I had on Rushup (as you know steeper hill so less wind of course). I guess the only way it could be better is a nice sand dune! Have yet to fly the coast 😍👍 makes great satisfying watching!

[@paulbishop7399]

good to see you kiddies out n about again! Stylin Gemstar :) Boss of your wing-geh

Falta te vir á suiça, quando cá vieres a zona de appenzel avisa.boms voos

[@duncanbrough4655]

What was the wind speed while you filmed this video.? In MPH please?

[@MrWhynotnow]

Interesting little clip of the kiteboarder Joao right at the end, getting some serious gliding time. You guys might have to do some cross-training with him and hook him up with a groundhandling wing while he schools you on his kiteboard wing. May be time for some experimentation there.

[@mowtivatedmechanic1172]

This is all I really want to do. Just float around. It looks soooooo chill man.

[@FlyShootTravelSleepRepeat]

this does look a lot of fun to play !...👏...need to visite you both at one time 🤞

[@Alex491000]

Волшебное место!

[@AlexOliveira777]

Qual era a velocidade do vento nesse dia? Mais ou menos. How much wind speed? Can you tell? I will try do the same next weekend in Florianópolis - Brazil

[@AndreBandarra1]

Around 30-35km/h at the bottom of the hill and 40-45 at the top. The wind changed throughout the day so the wind is not the same on all the shots.

[@AlexOliveira777]

@@AndreBandarra1 Got it, the wind get strongest to the end of video, i guess. That's a nice one though

[@adamsilver7268]

Great stuff you two! Y'all have too much fun

[@emmawrathall2700]

Looks fantastic!

[@NT-jk3kb]

Great as always to see you guys :)

[@mbbrosig]

Another awesome video! Another good thing to try is find exactly where is min sink when flying in this conditions. Are you using Davinci Resolve to edit your videos?

[@alexandredacosta3236]

how strong was the wind

[@rkd_noe]

Where is this place?

[@brianlloyd3718]

Thanks as always for making great PG content!

[@kyleoglee]

This video makes me want to hit a dune sesh SOOO bad! Nice work guys!

[@AndreBandarra1]

It's mega fun! :)

[@MC-ROTIV21]

Brabo demais 🦅🦅🦅

[@bulentkamali]

I am wondering something. Do sand particles not damage the wing?

[@AndreBandarra1]

Yes. And also the sun and flying your wing and packing it too

[@jakekearns4381]

Great vid guys

[@radekbebenek1582.]

Andre what wind speed you have on that day ? windy what do you mean ?

[@AndreBandarra1]

30km/h+

[@TitusIV]

Yeah , hovering is just the best :) !

[@aventurasnaskasa8200]

Mais um novo i nscrito parabens na live. Falando de Parapente

[@paulohenriquejunior646]

Olá, André! Qual o seu número telemóvel?

[@cavalosdroneslaminas749]

Top demais!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏

[@fwkb2]

That looks so fun!

[@airgaborpara3824]

What a playground!!!

[@jwburton]

Was that a stunt double or actually Gemma??? She looked so smooth! Awesome! Have a fantastic weekend.

[@AndreBandarra1]

ah, we both tought the same! But I guess the wind was just perfect and Gemma has been improving when we're not paying attention :)

[@MrJdsenior]

That looks like so freakin much fun. Seeing him up there under that kiting wing looks really weird. I'm guessing you probably better know what you are doing to do that? It looks to me like you could get into some pretty uncontrollable pendulum modes if you let it get away from you. Just guessing, though.

[@guilhermeb7615]

The joys of linear wind :D

[@robertwinkel9209]

I'm watching all the beginners videos I can, but I still haven't found one that explains why there are A, B, and C risers and what they do....

[@SkywalkerPaul]

I thought they went on another platform

[@filipepaulo1290]

Top.

[@fbasterds]

Shoulda brought out the rápidos

[@YankeeinSC1]

I still love your guy's stuff and your location is so enviable but this would be so much more watchable without the techno music overscores. JMHO. Still hope to get over some day.
