Tandem for Jason from southern California
And solos for Charlie, Rick, and Shabe

We've been under a low blanket of cloud on the west coast for what has seemed like forever. Luckily for us, Shabe's brother-in-law brought some sun with him from L.A.

The wind forecast was varied but we decided to give Mt Prevost a shot and, after a bit of 'parawaiting', we all managed to get airborne: Charlie first from Middle, then Rick during a strong, rogue cycle, from Main, then Jason and I on our second attempt from Middle, followed lastly by Shabe - also from Middle.

Jason had never done anything like paragliding before and he was pretty excited by the whole thing. Welcome to the sky Jason!

Here's a short video taken during his tandem flight:

And one that Charlie took of our landing:

After the first round of flights, Jason and I drove retrieve while Rick and Charlie each got another flight in on their new slick Kortel Kanibal II harnesses.

Only 66 days until you'll be putting them to good use in Nepal guys!
