Ohau Paragliding - The Commute
On the rare occasion conditions allow a flight from the ridge above Ohau Snow Field. Makes for a very special and scenic flight.

Plan B - Base Rescue - Acro Paragliding
มุมมอง 536ปีที่แล้ว
Inner A lines failed on both risers during rhythmic. Last acro run for the Trickster. Replacement lines are double the diameter of the broken lines and I have now been informed it is a common failure on this glider. The inner A’s on both my Nikita and Emilie are substantially thicker and more confidence inspiring. Good outcomes with a good rescue system!

Tasman Saddle Ski Touring
มุมมอง 5592 ปีที่แล้ว
Spring ski touring in the heart of the NZ Alps. After flying in from Mt Cook Village we spent 4 days in the Tasman Saddle Hut skiing the surrounding area. Skied far more than we had hoped with a ski descent of Elie De Beaumont in mostly dry boot top powder. The ski down the Tasman Glacier offered natures silkiest groomed surface to get to ‘white ice’ for a heli out.

    flies a sweet proximity line on an acro wing - busts out a sick acro run - all in under 2 minutes. Absolute banger of a video

    Hi David, all your videos are incredible (but I think this one is my favorite). Charming soundtrack and images. I'm moving to Auckland this week I use speed wind 9m, 13m and mini 17m. Can I contact you by phone or email? Thanks and keep pushing.

      @davidwright9535 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi there, that is fantastic, it really is an amazing place to fly and I am sure you will enjoy it. You will need a visitors licence to fly here. There is a bit of a process to go through but it is rather straight forward and easy to do. Your overseas rating will need to be equivalent to the NZ PG2 or above. Best check on the NZHGPGA website. nzhgpa.org.nz/flying-in-nz/
