Paragliding Mt.Borah, Manilla, Australia. Light and variable wind, stable conditions. Getting ready to land, I stumbled into an unexpected thermal ... resulting in this low save. Recorded March 2016.
Thanks Mark B. Mt.Borah is renown for low saves (I have had a few there myself). Regardless where you fly, it's very satisfying when you get a chance to get back up and being able to work that thermal.
Great low save! I've heard of some other australian stories of incredible low saves.

1: Find thermal. 2: Work thermal. 3: Say 'woo-hoo' and enjoy the view.
Amazing Haz! How high did it take you?
Thanks Paul. A strong inversion stopped me from getting above 1600m asl (~5200ft asl) that day.
