how does he take off? :s

[OnlyHDVideos]

there is an upward breeze when he gets to the edge which lifts him!

[RealVinceSamios]

Ridge lift is such an uncanny concept.

Wow! What an awesome upload! Nice take-off and beautiful landing. You are so good at paragliding.

How were you feeling at high altitude above the landscape and sea? Obviously you would be enjoying a lot, a great fun indeed.

lol experience? hehehehhe, no, if the wind is too strong its too strong, no amount of "experience" can hold a person down under very strong conditions

[ParaglidingManiac]

Hard take off (even getting dragged a little sometimes). Same with me. Why does this happen? Is it the experience, or the wing condition?

Cool, the interview is a bit clipped due to the wind, I see what you mean :-). Great job with the editing, that's a nice video. Perhaps next time we can capture a launch and landing POV. It'll need a helmet attachment or similar though.
