Excellent ppg (powered or motorised paragliding) video

by on September 15, 2012 in Uncategorized

Although not tandem, this ppg or powered or motorised paragliding video is excellent. Recently shot by Anton (thanks mate!)  in Caledon, near Cape town.

Beaches like blouberg and tableview and strand are excellent to fly, but to paraglide tandem over inland areas of the overberg and swartland is also excellent – stellenbosch and franschoek are great!

How to overcome your fear of flying?

by on August 23, 2012 in Blog

Do you have a fear of heights? or maybe you have a fear of flying?

Did you know that the fear of flying is one of the most common phobias. People get a sense of fear and anxiety even by the thought of flying.

Parapax has put together a few ideas to help you overcome fear of flying? Paragliding is just too good to be missed.

  1. Notice that you are afraid: Acknowledge that this is something that frightens you so that it can be addressed. Sometimes we realize too late that this is something we are scared of – helps to be better prepared.
  2. Breathe Deeply: Right into your tummy. When you are nervous and afraid you don’t breathe as well as when you are calm. So continuously breathe deeply 3 times over. It can help realize some tension.
  3. Ask your what you are afraid of: Is it the bumps? Is it the clouds? Is it the rustle? Name the fear!
  4. Am i in danger? Ask yourself and Parapax instructor if you are in danger. Parapax never goes out if they think it is not safe – we have your best interest at heart.
  5. Know what to expect: Ask what you need to expect. Make sure you know how high you are and how things are going to work – this will reduce the anxiety from the uncertainty and unknown.

 

Parapax would love to have you Paraglide with us. We love what we do and would love to show you how its done.
