See the little ants on the beach below?
Those are sunbathers, with towels and
beach umbrellas!  We each had a tandem
ride, as close to pure quiet flight as I’ve
ever experienced.  Smooth but exhilarating.
Paragliding is foot launched – the adventure
starts by harnessing up, catching air in the 40 lb.
sail, and running off the edge of a perfectly
good 350 ft. cliff…  
Soaring over Torrey Pines golf course.
I yelled out to one guy, “Hey!  Nice drive!”
C’mon!  It’s not a real vacation
unless you sign a waiver!!

     

Evolution a la paraglide.

Great spot for hang gliders and paragliders.
Fairly consistent updrafts of wind along the cliff.
