Haha, no I've been flying for too long. The closest thing to a log I have is this TH-cam channel.

@@TitusIV So, how do you know when to replace your wing?

@@MasterSwitch Personnally on average I would try to replace my wing every 5 years, you can push it to 10 but I wouldn't push it past it. It's really up to you and how you fly it, The more damages you cause the faster you'll need to replace it. Another best practice is to send it for check up by an expert once a year. Some pilots like to repair their wings, I don't trust myself and only let experts repair my wing. You can find all the maintenance services to paragliders by the expert I go to here: www.parafreddo.com/maintenance

@@a.s.5280 Haha yes that's for sure 😂

Bonjour Matthieu, j'ai la Moustache 18m2 de Flare pour un PTV d'envrions 87Kg. Je vole depuis 2005, mais c'était mon tout premier vol en moustache donc j'étais prudent. C'est un super jouet cette voile, ca change vraiment d'un parapente classic, a éssayer vraiment et rien de mieux que la dune du pilat pour le faire en sécurité 😁!

So Lucky ! it hadn't flown in months Xavier told me.

Yeah it's a great place to go to when it's predicted to get blown out, you can top land anywhere unlike East Point's South take off.

De nada !

Please be careful of the “major attractors”, also. Those “!” exclamation marks are an example of a pretty tough one in the aviation game.

Fantastic video! Thank you!

Hello, there are no official sites around Toronto so nothing required, if you have a wing you can fly. I would get a Canadian license from HPAC though, send them a copy of Brasilian License so they can give you a Canadian equivalent With that you can have a 3rd party insurance. it's always best to be insured if you ever damage or hurt someone.

I can turn left and right and pitch up and down if that's your question, yes.

this wing can even accelerate to about 55Km/h and slow down to abount 20Km/h !

Hello Tarik, glad you like it :)! I’m located in Toronto. We fly at EP with winds between 19-27km/h SSW, S, SE and East. So if you check Windy for those conditions you might just catch us. I’m going to try to fly tomorrow but I still don’t know if I’m going to East point or Burwell. If I go to east point I’ll let you know. Also here is a link to WhatsApp so you can speak to most of the pilots in Ontario chat.whatsapp.com/GX8hwTuon0rBK9p1rMk8g4

absolutly, sometimes it's flyable all day from sunset to sunrise although it's quite rare. it's usually more like a few hours during the day !

Hello there, it will depend on your level and how cross the wind is. Join Ontario's paraglider chat on Whatsapp chat.whatsapp.com/GX8hwTuon0rBK9p1rMk8g4, there is always someone to answer your questions. We've installed a weather station at EP www.ecowitt.net/home/index?id=61075, EP is flyable from 240 to 95 degrees (2 take offs) and between 19 to 26 km/h winds max 35km/h gusts.

Thanks :)! I learned it in France a long time ago. There is a Paragliding club at Yamaska. Check it out, I have seen teachers training new pilots there. Hurry up though as the Yamaska club closes end of October for the winter. There is also a school at Mont saint Anne near Quebec city. They might be open all year. I also heard of a school near Mount Kaikoop, but I don’t know anything about it, it doesn’t seem as big as the other 2 mentioned above.

@@TitusIV Thanks a lot I'll check it out

Border line too Strong, it was at it's weakest when taking off at around 25Km/h I'd say. but we clearly hit over 30Km/h at one point during flight.

It looks pretty smooth anyways.

@@mol5 the filming is smooth, but trust me it was bumpy 😆

Thanks.It’s looking amazing friday indeed. I was planning on going Saturday but the conditions deteriorated 😢. Have fun !

Hello, You can’t really plan to go fly there, to reach the bluffs you have to be there in very specific wind conditions . This is only my 4th flight there this year so far. It’s very rare to reach the bluffs.You can only take off from East Point with ESE winds to reach them. It’s a matter of luck, availability, flexibility and constantly checking the East point live weather station and forecasts. Planning to fly at East Point only would be more reasonable. Unfortunately, these days I’m in Montreal until early October. You can always ask on the ontario paragliding WhatsApp chat who’s going

Not that I am aware of, otherwise I would fly there.

Haha, well this site is a bit remote, it requieres an hour hike to the top and avanced piloting. The other pilots tend to chicken out from such endeavours.

That’s a tight landing zone!

Haha, thank you Xavier. The landing area is indeed a bit narrower than rainbow beach :P

Hello Stephen, sure thing, here is the link to our Whatsapp group chat.whatsapp.com/GX8hwTuon0rBK9p1rMk8g4

Hello, Join our whatsapp chat, you'll be able to speak to all of Ontario's paragliders :) ! chat.whatsapp.com/GX8hwTuon0rBK9p1rMk8g4

Hello there, glad you liked it, it’s not beginners friendly, make sure there is someone there before flying to get guidance. There is an Ontario paraglider chat on whatsapp: chat.whatsapp.com/GX8hwTuon0rBK9p1rMk8g4. See you there :) !

Hello, unfortunately it's not up to us but up to the weather. For this site you need South or South west winds between 20 and 30km per hour to get a chance of potentially seeing a pilot. For me personally I live 1h30 away, so I only go there on weekends as a last option since it's far for me and I have options closer to me.

Hello there, unfortunatly you can't choose the when and time you want to fly. This sport is completly dependent on weather. You can check Windy for weather predictions at EP or this link www.ecowitt.net/home/share?authorize=PJ3HYP to know the current wind strengh and direction at EP. In order for us to fly, the wind needs to be constantly between 18-24km/h, not gusting over 35 and between 100 to 155 degrees for the East East Point take off as seen on the video. For the South East point take off we fly between 155 to 245 degrees. So if you keep an eye open on these conditions you should manage to see us. Also we don't fly when there are thunderstorm warnings or rain forcast.

@@TitusIV where in Scarborough can I practice ground handling or kiting?

@@TitusIV where is located the second take off & how to get there?

@@OttawaParagliding The second take off is visible at 3:06 in my video, you can see 2 persons seating at the edge. Before I reach it you can see a trail going there, it starts from the parking next to the first take off.

@@TitusIV thank you

Hello Xavier, it was a 16km flight. the conditions where just perfect indeed. This is a rare flight to achieve in Toronto, even more rare in summer :)! all the best

I rather tell you in person next time we meet :) !

Hello, well you can contact all the pilots in Ontario at chat.whatsapp.com/GX8hwTuon0rBK9p1rMk8g4 . But there is no expert on the area, there are no official sites in Toronto. you can fly there between 10-13kts from 90 degrees to 220 degrees. there is a south take off and an East take off at East point. This video shows the South take off. Winds were SSW on that day.
