Express Your Love Up In The Skies With Fly Cape Town Paragliding!

When thinking of the time and place where you would express your feelings to the love of your life, it is invariably a good idea to think of an experience which is truly exotic, that in turn makes things that much more memorable. After all, don’t you want to have something special in your mind that you can share with your grandchildren decades later?

In that regard, proposing while paragliding comes across as a truly novel experience; one which can hardly be described in words. Yet, if you are looking for cues (or maybe a dash of inspiration!) you can look at this post Paragliding Proposal where Dado proposed to Beta in Macedonia. Well, if he can, so can you! And by the way, nothing is stopping you from doing so even as a lady – gone are the days when it is the only the guy who is expected to propose to the lady!

The point we are making is that paragliding is very clearly an experience unlike any other. With us here at Fly Cape Town Paragliding, you have an added assurance of dealing with only the very best in the industry, a fact that is only reinforced by the large number of highly qualified and trained pilots that we have in our repertoire. Together, they can take you on an absolutely stunning paragliding Cape Town experience where you will find yourself having a sense of oneness with yourself and your immediate surroundings to an extent that expressing your feelings will become that much easier for you.

Moreover, also look at things from the point of view of your prospective partner – the one you intend to propose to. Given the circumstances under which you will be proposing, you are pretty much assured of an acceptance. After all, besides your own merits as a partner, the whole setup would be so positively overwhelming that your prospect would have little choice other than to offer up their consent!

It is these reasons which have already seen so many couples taking to the skies with us here at Fly Cape Town Paragliding. Besides proposing, relatively more mundane instances like newlyweds taking a paragliding session with us as part of their honeymoon, lovers letting their love blossom up above in the skies, have been some of the many instances that we have experienced over the years.

So if you are one of those whom Cupid has been calling loud and clear, why not let us assist you in spreading the message of love, with our eclectic paragliding rides?

PARAGLIDING SAFETY TIPS

The sport of paragliding is an exciting and relaxing activity that everyone can enjoy. Of course, due to the fact that it involves flying through the air hundreds or thousands of meters above the ground it means you must take steps to ensure your safety.

The following are some paragliding safety tips for everyone from beginners to experienced paragliding pilots.

Paragliding in Cape Town is actually an activity that is really easy to learn. However, one of the most dangerous aspects to it is the period just after someone starts to feel comfortable in the air.

When you are brand new to flying, chances are you will be extremely careful and even have a feeling of vulnerability. On the other hand, if you have gone through paragliding training to become a pilot, and have gone out to fly by yourself, it can be pretty easy to develop a false sense of security.

Just when you really begin to feel at ease, it is very easy to take safety less seriously and make mistakes.

Paragliding Preparation

Preparation is key. Mistakes happen, even to experienced pilots. However, maintaining a respect for flying coupled with a constant feeling of susceptibility and preparing yourself properly physically and mentally before paragliding is very important.

This includes compiling an accurate weather forecast ahead of your flight and knowing the area well.

All paragliding equipment should be inspected regularly and before each flight to ensure it is up to proper working standards. If you have any question about the integrity of any of your equipment, or the conditions in which you will be paragliding, do not take off.

Also, practice your techniques for both launching and landing. When landing, you should do so into the wind. It is important to practice your landing and concentrate your efforts on hitting the target, or as close as possible.

After all, practice makes perfect and you will be happy you have gone through all the details ahead of time once you reach the ground safely.

You should also have a plan for the end of your flight before you even begin. Properly planning a safe approach to the landing zone should be a priority at every step of your flight, and you should avoid landing out of the zone, which increases the likelihood of an accident.

Avoid Complacency When Paragliding

One of the biggest mistakes people make after they begin paragliding regularly is to fall into a pattern of complacency. The sport is both thrilling and relaxing, which is a unique combination responsible for many people enjoying it so much.

It is also pretty easy to reach a level of competency, which can lead to over confidence. In the anticipation of flying however, some people forget that they will be flying high through the air, which is by its very definition death defying.

There are certainly risks that must be planned for and respected at every level of the flying experience. By making the proper preparations and making use of our paragliding safety tips, you can ensure a safe and enjoyable flight.

LIVING YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST

We all want to live life to the fullest, but how many of us still hold back from ever trying out new things?  Life is too short not to open up your world to new rewarding experiences. We’ve highlighted a few things that will help you to experience a fulfilled life!

BE COURAGEOUS

There is a quote which says: “It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.” We believe that this reinforces the fact that if we never rise up to face our fears, we can never soar up to the heights which we’re destined to reach. Every success of completing what may have been challenging at the beginning, like taking your first paragliding flight, starts with an “I can” mindset. Facing our fears brings fulfillment, and it all begins with the courage to take that step.

STAY MOTIVATED

After you have set your goal and have a vision for reaching your target, it is important to stay motivated until you achieve it. If your first paragliding course lesson does not go well, for instance, it does not mean you should quit; you need to keep on working at it until you finally get it right, and make it to the top, pun intented…

HAVE FUN

In as much as we need to focus and work hard in order to realize our dreams in life; it is also important to have some fun on the journey. We should never lose our youthful curiosity, never stop trying new things. Taking time out from your work schedule to try out random activities like bungee jumping is part of having fun. Such activities will not only give you an adrenalin rush, but they leave you with happiness, which brings a sense of fulfillment.

PUSH THE BOUNDARIES

You will find fulfillment in pursuing extreme activities – things that make your heart beat faster. Engaging in meaningful experiences adds value to our lives. Paragliding is one extreme adventure that is sure to give you the thrill of a lifetime! Check out this Hippo.co.za article where Fly Cape Town Paragliding was featured under extreme adventures.

KEEP YOUR BODY IN GOOD SHAPE

You only have one body, so take good care of it… it’s been said that “when you look good, you feel good”. And feeling good about yourself automatically gives you more confidence to step out and reach for your dreams. Try to eat healthily and do get some form of exercise, because you need a strong healthy body to engage in challenging activities!
