You see! That wing is from that paraglider pilot I mentioned. I had the same, another color. My current wing "can't" do this. This was his last training day, brand new wing. High perf is nice for XC, fun too but not something you do every day unless you got time and cash!
A lot of the time he is flying with the bar quite forward, flight speed is at minimum sink. Try staying a just little further back in the lift band, not crabbing but turning the wing a bit more cross wind. Pull the bar in a bit more and accelerate from min sink, through trim to best glide. A bit faster will give more control and you will get a bit higher at best glide. On the turn push out a bit and you will gain altitude as you go through the turn.
Some of the most fun I've had with a glider! Unfortunately not very common to get this wind around here, besides this video I only had two other days. Managed some longer flights up to 20mins then! Usually strong winds blow parallel to the beach here.
This kind of flight is not safer at all, does require excellent control. Being this close to the ground means little time to react specially if you turn slightly downwind, and narrow room for error. This being said, if you have a bigger wing you can do it with much less wind, and depending on the shape of the dunes and size of the beach before you reach the water, it can then be very safe and even beginner friendly. Check Erica Klein videos, that is the safe version of beach flying.
@@delta_yeah OK, get a bigger, floaty wing with a low minimum sink rate like a Wills Wing Alpha 235, a lighter breeze and NO POWER LINES. Still, it looks tricky, like balancing on a bike when standing still. BTW I love those Erika Klein videos too!
The one in the video is made in Brazil. There are manufacturers and dealers in other countries. But instead you should look for an instructor, and as you learn your instructor will point what equipment to buy. Gliders have different sizes and models to fit your skills and weight.
Hey sorry for my delay! Where in the world are you? The right thing to do is look for the nearest instructor/flight school, and go from there. I can help you find it, just let me know your location
Hey, I live in brazil, so for US prices better ask someone who lives there. New gliders are about $4500 and used can be anywhere from 1 to 3k depending on how it is. Look for an instructor, and never try learning on your own!
Depends on pilot weight and wing size. Aka 'wing loading'. A light pilot with a big wing can do this with light winds. In my case, at 65kg with a wing sized 170 square feet, an average of 35km with gusts of 45~50km works. But I also own an Alpha 210 that I use for teaching, that one can probably do this with 25~35km winds. Alpha 235 also exists, and the Wills Wing Condor 330 is the biggest available, that one floats super easy. It also depends on the dune size and steepness. This dune here is very tiny, just about my own height
Hey! It was very wind this day, 45km, some gusts above 50. This glider can stall as slow as 22km/h, and with a light touch you can keep it soaring below 30. This is a 170sqm wing and I’m 65kg, ideally a 190 would be best for dune gooning, possibly doable at 30kmh winds. Or a taller slope! At a hill site 15˜18km/h can be sustainable.
@@andrewc3186 cool! Hg or pp students? I actually went there again in may and managed flights as long as 20min. But I didnt have the patience to edit and post yet! Haha
Find me one and I'll be there ;) Well, a bit more to the right the power line ends. Depends on wind direction though. If I had a bigger wing only for dunes then I'd be able to try it more often, as usually the wind blows weaker there.
I was not aware that this could be done for such long periods of time.
I've always enjoyed watching birds do it but this is very relaxing.
With the right wind and a bigger glider you can soar for hours!

@@delta_yeahWhat type of glider would you recommend? Great video btw.
Omg this is for me! Thanks for the advice!

@@delta_yeah it makes sense with my basic understanding of airfoils. The fact that it’s cheaper doesn’t hurt either 😉
@@BikingVikingHH Have you learned hang gliding so far? Go for it, life is short. It's been 1y :)
Looks strong enough to have a prone launch!

J'adore cette manière de décoller ! C'est du vol comme on l'imagine, comme les oiseaux ! 😃🤙
Great flying, you make it look easy.
Thanks! I bet if you try you will make it
Awesome man, I’m looking forward to my first dune goon

Very nice, going to learn it too
Yes please! Best thing in life, go for it!
@@delta_yeah si, but to cold these day here in UY
@@peterporsche203 flying can get cold too, get some clothing and do it!
Com certeza uma sensação boa para quem tem coragem de sobrevoar e o melhor de tudo curtir este visual lindo, local onde eu moro😍🪂
That looks like amazing fun. !
It is! Some of the most fun I had in HG
Lovely! But also a bit sketchy.. with those powerlines.
Looks like a safe bet doesn't it ? Not being so high up , but the skill set required to handle the glider in those winds is is extensive .

If something goes wroung and u drop from that height the chance of serious injury is low right? Whats dangerous about this type of flying?

Show, parabéns pela diversão, ganhou mais um inscrito, faz mais vídeos deste estilo de vôo que é o meu preferido!
Onde é essa praia???
Looks like a good wind to make a paraglider go in reverse at 60 km/hour!
I've heard some have, at this place 😂 quite a bit of work to untangle from bushes cactus back there!
If only they had chosen a better sport....
Nice video. You need a different harness for that kind of flying
The king
Where can I buy that kind of hang glider?
The one in the video is made in Brazil. There are manufacturers and dealers in other countries. But instead you should look for an instructor, and as you learn your instructor will point what equipment to buy. Gliders have different sizes and models to fit your skills and weight.
Wills Wing Alpha 235
Why do you do this with powerlines behind you?
Because chopping the posts is too much work
Because doing with the power lines in front of you is even more dangerous.
Very Nice!
I would absolutely love to do this, how would i get started?
Hey sorry for my delay! Where in the world are you? The right thing to do is look for the nearest instructor/flight school, and go from there. I can help you find it, just let me know your location
I very like this Hang gliding how much is US $,?

Find an instructor first and he'll show you the way.
Muito bom treino

Nice glider…..
It is for sure! Brazilian made wing, handles sweet
Get a new site without power lines.
Find me one and I'll be there ;)

What you see hanging is a tow loop, and the string to pull the zipper. Not sure thsts what you are refering to, but not a safety issue, just unused.
I wanna do that too, H2 @EdLevin🤛🏿
Go for it! Lots of fun
