[@ivanduma7770]

When next? :) Also what the max wind speed for that place for regular PG ( not speed wing ) where are u looking for forecast? Thanks

[@clearcloudparagliding]

@@ivanduma7770 Hi Ivan, maximum for me is 15 mph with gusts under 20 mph (on a 26 square meters wing.) For the forecast, I use windfinder, willyweather and Rolan's soarcast. Cheers

[@maxsaberi147]

Hi Karim, I loved the way you made the video. If you can, please prepare similar video for how to launch just from the beach, not from the dunes. Thanks.

[@TheHienax]

I have the same wing!! ITV Boxer 2!! Nice top landings!! Cheers from montreal!!

[@clearcloudparagliding]

Thx. 5 years later, It's still my favorite beach wing 😀

Great video with well delivered commentary. Thank you. I’m Norfolk coastal Boyz, try some of these? Try Use short rope and a friend to beach start. (Like towing) friend let’s go once flying. We have small cliffs and rotor on the back. So very difficult to start. Have fun?

[@joshkoubek573]

Very inspiring man!!!

[@james7477]

Good video. Nice clear explanation of the skills needed to top-land at the coast. ALWAYS check speedbar is correctly setup and attached if it`s strong conditions. ALWAYS land on the beach if needed! Cheers from the UK. Suggestion - miniwing version of this video would be good>

[@clearcloudparagliding]

Happy to hear that buddy! And yes absolutely right about always hooking up the speedbar and landing on the beach. Miniwing video coming soon. Happy holidays!

Yes, it's looking promising for Friday

[@AussieDangerDave]

Fantastic video mate. Great, practical info. I would love to know how you created the paraglider animations?

[@clearcloudparagliding]

Thanks, mate. The video editing is done with Adobe Premier. Animating the picture of a paraglider with a transparent background is easy.

[@tamilkeerthi]

Where is this place, Karim?

[@clearcloudparagliding]

It's on Long Island, New York

[@FlyingSalsero]
