One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

not nearly enough...searching for the ultimate ride

just started speed gliding

A few years ago I was fortunate to paraglide in the French Alsace....it was a great day with forming cumulus congestus clouds. Luckily I found an updraft infront of such a cloud and soared up 4500m. The ground dissipated between cords of mist and I felt like a grain of dust in a surreal world of huge white mountains of clouds. An experience impossible to correctly describe with words...

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach paragliding and kite surfing.. ..sometimes

Lifelong learning is certainly a very valid concept which I and my family fully embrace. CS gives us the opportunity to meet good teachers from all different ways of life. An opportunity I appreciate and enjoy whenever possible.
