They were great to work with on all accounts and I cannot recommend them enough. I had to cut my flight short because I was about to throw up on some unsuspecting homeowner below!īob and Keishya also do an excellent kayak/snorkel tour to Monkey Island. Also, if you are at all prone to motion sickness, take something ahead of time. You just have to accept this as part of the activity. Keishya explained this very thoroughly ahead of time, and she worked very hard to reschedule the flight within our time constraints. The theory of dolphin flying says that we should slow up to our minimum sink rate of, say, 25mph in good lift, but that the stronger the sink we encounter, the faster we should fly so we spend. How much sink or lift you are currently flying through. The trip began with a short lesson on how to fly, and once I was in the air I think we could have been up there for as long as I wanted! Their equipment was in excellent condition and I had no safety concerns whatsoever.Ī couple of things you should be aware of: this is a highly weather-dependent activity, and you may be ready to launch, only to find that you have to cancel for the day. In general, the better your glider’s performance, the faster your optimal glide speed becomes. My 12 year old daughter and I were both signed up for tandem flights. They are wonderful people and were great to work with. The hang gliding itself needs little explanation - flying over the rainforest, looking at the amazing views of the island.awesome! What really deserves note are Bob and Keishya. Bob and Keishya made this dream come true. it was completely breathtaking! I HIGHLY recommend Team Spirit Hang Gliding to anyone visiting Puerto Rico!!! I can't wait to visit PR again and try their kayak tour!!! Once we took off I realized I had by far underestimated hang gliding. He made sure I was completely comfortable with everything before we ever approached the launch area. Some designated launch sites require higher ratings than others. Today were hang gliding on Lookout Mountain just outside of Chattanooga, Tennessee This has been a bucket list dream for Sara and her dad for years. Hang Gliding Association proficiency rating of H-2 to P-2 or greater. Once his glider was ready he went step by step with instructions from take off, to in flight, to landing. Hang Gliding/Paragliding Pilots must have a current U.S. Bob was very professional and instantly made me feel safe about it all. We found to launch spot no problem and met Bob and another guy (I forgot his name but he was super nice). But she was so nice and worked with me to find another day to fly before we left. Keishya had explained thoroughly that if winds weren't right it wouldn't be safe to fly. I turned 30 on my trip and was wanting to do something fun and adrenaline packed that I'd never done before, so why not hangglide?!?! The original day I booked was bad winds and we were unable to fly.
