Saturday…
The morning began very active as far as the weather is concerned. Clouds and cold winds covered the entire area. But as is typical of this time in Puerto Rico, we knew that the conditions were going to improve in the next hours. The ladies, Sheila and Kathy arrived early to live their flying experiences. In the meantime, the school students, Luis and Bebo practiced hard with the paragliders on the ground. Mario accompanied them in practice, he likes to maintain his tradition of practicing and continuing to improve his skills. Luis Vélez and Bebo are beginning to master the control of the paragliders and their first “solo” flights are more close to gets real in next weeks 💪.
Ian Darrell was in charge of the flights for Sheila and Kathy. While they were flying, their friends, Grisel and Mayra came to accompany them and indicate that they would return, to do their flights in February 2023…
Luis Velez and Bebo also took time to start giving Break In to their new Paramotor HE Paramotores Moster MY22. While Sammy Badillo and Mario practiced their Touch & Go, and Foot Drag in the arena. Ted and Abner went in cross-country flights all the way to Quebradillas.
The weather never improved completely, but we took advantage of the windows of possibilities and the flights that were pending were made. We will return tomorrow with God‘s favor…

Sunday…
The morning began with individual flights by Ian Darrell, and Jonathan Carr, who is Instructor and Director of the Orlando Paramotor School. Jonathan is visiting the island and pay Luis Ruiz a visit as he promise some months ago. Both will be carrying out the Demo Flights of the Day, but they wanted to go up to fly individually before beginning with the “realization of the “work”. It is important to indicate that the weather looks better than yesterday…
New friends came from different parts of the island to live their flying experiences. We could tell they were coming from USA, Cabo Rojo, Vega Alta and Carolina.
Among the active pilots during the day, Mario, Pablo, Alberto and Ted were assisting the pilots Ian and Jonathan in carrying out the Demo flights. Later they went out to fly.
We could mention that Mario continues to perfect his foot drag skills on his flights. Ricardo Gonzalez, in other hand, had a Power failure from his Paramotor that did not allow him to gain much height. He finished also doing a Foot Drag, but not as he would have liked since he did it practically flying Down Wind and he entered very quickly to Ground. Fortunately he was not hurt, but his equipment suffered some breaks.
In the afternoon, the winds continued to increase their intensity, as we ended the activities. Ricky, Ermelinda, Pablo and Millie finished it while gets lunch in a restaurant close by.
Here we present some photos of the adventure of the weekend. Blessings 🙏!!!
