An instructional tandem flight is a great way to check out the sport of paragliding with the least amount of effort. You will be a passenger in your own seat connected to a pilot in his own seat. You are just along for the ride as the pilot has the controls. Flights are about half an hour or so long and take place at the Point of the Mountain. Pick a day that you would like to fly and then call/text 801-368-5139 to schedule or email info@utahparagliding.com. When that day arrives, call again for a weather check before you leave home. If the wind is good then we fly, if the wind is not cooperating then we reschedule. The wind only tends to be good about 1/2 of the time. We do tandem flights in the morning during the first 3 hours of the day and in the afternoon during the last 3 hours of daylight. This is when the air is the smoothest. We generally avoid flying during the middle of the day as that is when the air becomes quite bumpy due to thermal heating. The Point of the Mountain has 2 sides that we can fly on. Flights take place on both sides. The South side in the mornings and the North side in the afternoons. Both sides are a lot of fun to fly at, but the North side offers the opportunity to get thousands of feet over the valley whereas the south side offers the opportunity to get hundreds of feet over the valley. For that reason, we prefer to schedule tandem flights for the afternoon, because we want to get you up as high as possible. The views are great so bring a camera, or use your phone. (No one has dropped one yet.) We generally do not take photos or video because we often need to be actively flying the paraglider and don't like to take our hands off the controls in order to do so. However, the passenger's hands are totally free to take pictures and video as much as you'd like.  Please keep in mind that we tend to cancel about half of the time because the wind may not be cooperating. So if you are doing this as an event then please have a flexible schedule as we often need to wait around for the wind to get just right. Or, please have a plan B if we need to cancel. Also, some people tend to get motion sick and throw up. So, if someone is prone to motion sickness, then maybe reconsider this as a gift, or you will be giving them an experience that may make them vomit:) Conditions are often very consistent and reliable but it is difficult to schedule a wind dependent sport sometimes. Weight limit of 220lbs.
