Paragliding near Byron Bay, Australia, January 2021. Light to moderate wind, gusty at times, thermic conditions. Plenty of lift. Getting high ... fast!
Hi Nathaniel, yes, I am one of the local pilots in the Northern Rivers area. Most of our local sites are rated PG4. But we are a friendly club and have a few Safety Officers who are happy to help new pilots fly our sites. Go to our club website NRHGPGC (Northern Rivers Hang gliding and Paragliding Club) to find contact details. Or get in touch with Andrew from Poliglide (our local paragliding Instructor) for more info.
Very cool! Straight up!
Yes. It was a very lifty day.
Nice sky! It seems there were good thermals.
Yes. Conditions were perfect: Light winds and good climbs (2.5 - 5 m/sec)
Are you Local? Is there a good bunch of guys in the area and is this a good place to progress from PG1-3? Awesome Video over Mullum.
