My First Year Paragliding

Hold a bit more brake tension in general and you will feel more what is coming... Id also suggest ditch the cobra method of holding the brakes and instead take a classic half wrap. This gives better feel and no risk of getting stuck/slowing down the extraction of your hand if you need to throw... 👍

Thanks man. At the start having moved from speedflying I was sitting on the rears a lot. I’ve since transitioned to purely sitting on brakes and trying to feel more of what’s coming. As for the half wrap I’m having difficulty getting myself used to it having always had my hands through the brakes for years, but I do realise it can be an issue with a big collapse if you need to get your hand out to throw, especially with big gloves.

@thatjamesgavin fair enough, I did suspect you may have come from speed flying when I saw some twitchy sharp inputs! ... thatll do effectively nothing on these wings except degrade your glide. Smooth input is best, even in the punchy strong stuff 😎👍
