As has been the trend in the past few weeks, somewhat difficult conditions to fly during the day.
We returned to Isabela again, and this time the winds were at 10 to 15 mph intensity. From 8 to 10:30 AM and after winds of 18 to 22 mph were the norm for the rest of the day.
We have a Full House of pilots and friends from Team Kamikazes Paramotor Puerto Rico. And it is that four (4) surprise birthdays were celebrated for pilots who had recently met and we had not had the opportunity to celebrate them.

Flight Activities and Training (AM)
We took advantage of the morning to practice with the paragliders and make some flights.
Ben was doing the Demo Flight of Oscar Sánchez, who traveled with his family to live the experience. While Luis Ruiz directly attended the training of the students Manny and Abner Ramos who began official training in the morning.
Former Pilots Tim Slauson and Mario Muniz also dedicated themselves to practicing with their paragliders as they understood that they wind was too strong to fly.

The four (4) Birthdays…
The Kamikaze girls have always pending on the details behind the doors of our family activities. These time, they were some birthdays from last week, that could not take place due to the weather. So, we decided to celebrate them all at once in this activity ☺️.
The pilots who celebrated their birthdays were Noel Vale, Ben Doyle, Iván Torres and Sammy Badillo. A “piñata” was prepared to each one of them. This apart from the birthday cake prepared by Ivonne. (Thanks!!!)
Everything runs great and we had a great and unforgettable time. More than a words, we better leave here the Videos taken from this activity… Thanks to all those who said present and managed to share with us on such a special day.
In the afternoon hours, an enormous amount of rain approached Isabela, marking the end of our activity. Part of the group was stationed in their chairs, having a good time until the last moment when we had to pick up and run away very fast. Inclusive some of them followed Ben and Andrea to their Home to finish the activity there..☺️
Next week is still very active as far as the weather is concerned, we’ll see…
