Paragliding lessons in Colorado and Tandems have started everyday for the most part and the students just got their first flights. The P1 students will be able to do some tandem flights from me to teach landing patterns and flare timing. We can start working on their P2's and do some tandem thermal practice after that if they haven't ordered their gear. Some students have definitely noticed the difference between the lightweight gear and equipment vs. full weight gear. Its worth looking into it if you plan on hike and flying the mountains or descending from 14rs.
