Ground Handling or Kiting is crucial for you to be good at handling a glider. The more you kite, the better you become. You will be able to understand your glider better. It is important that you know how your glider reacts in order for you to fly and soar like a bird :). There are rules which will keep you safe, insyallah (god willing) and tricks for you to master the art of flying. But then again, one step at a time.

Beginner Paragliding Tips
By: Amanda Ferguson
Break Studios Contributing Writer
Knowing some beginner paragliding tips will help in having a great time during paragliding! These tips are simple and easy to remember. Anyone who begins paragliding is looking for a great time to fly in the air without having to free fall too dramatically. Just as long as you keep a few things in mind, you'll be sure to have a high-flying time.
  1. Your instructor. Having a good paragliding instructor is rather important. However, it doesn't matter how nice they are to you and how much they make you laugh. Something to check for is seeing if your paragliding instructor is a USHGA Certified Basic or Advanced Paragliding Instructor. These instructors go through rigorous training to make sure you know each and every detail that is involved with paragliding.
  2. Steady winds. For beginning paragliding, its important that you do not make any flights in steady winds of twelve miles per hour or less. When winds get heavy during a flight, it can be very dangerous. The wind can twist the cables in the unit as well as cause the pilot to steer off course. It requires advanced skill to stay on course during a heavy and steady wind.
  3. Understand the slopes. For beginning paragliding pilots, its best to start off by foot launching. This is done by running down a slope and letting the wind take the canopy as you fly. However, if you are just starting out, its best to stick to slopes with 3:1 - 4:1 ratio. Its also good to keep in mind that wind should only be about fifteen degrees of being straight up the slope. Any slope greater than this will cause you a tough time in controlling the sale.
  4. No obstructions. With foot launching, it's also extremely important to avoid anything that you may run into. Once the wind takes the canopy and begins lifting you, it's hard to stop the gliding forward. Be sure to pick out a spot with little to no obstructions within sixty degrees to either side of the intended flight path.
  5. The canopy. Whichever canopy you choose to use for paragliding be sure to read the manufacturer's recommendations for use. Typically, they will suggest certain canopies for beginning paragliders and other canopies for more advanced gliders. Beginning canopies are much more simple and allow the new pilot to simply focus on practicing with steering and not going too high up in the air.

Safety Stop: Why Do I Need To Do It?

We generally see scuba diving as a fun sports activity that we are simply passionate about.
To become a good scuba diver we need to receive professional training and then get into the water. That is true, but that is not all.

We need to always remember a few important aspects of diving, and we can never afford to forget the safety rules while indulging in this fun sport.
Safety stop is something we need to be cautious about. It is recommended at the end of each dive and mandatory for deeper dives.

Let us look at this safety rule in detail and understand it so that we can be tension free.

DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS
We know while diving that we do not have access to free air and have to depend on compressed air. While breathing the compressed air underwater, nitrogen gets accumulated in our blood. The nitrogen then gradually gets absorbed into the tissues as the dive continues.
As we start to ascend, nitrogen starts getting dispersed from the tissues as a result of decreasing pressure of air on the tissue.  However, ascending too fast will reduce the pressure very rapidly and nitrogen will try to get washed quickly.
Therefore, there will be a greater pressure differential which will cause nitrogen bubble formation in the tissues and blood vessels.
These nitrogen bubbles trapped in our body will result in Decompression Sickness.


THE STOP
Doing a safety stop is not tough. You simply have to stop on the way up to the surface and stay at around 5 meters/15 feet for 3 minutes. If you find it difficult to maintain the same level, then use an anchor- or bottom line to hold on to. If you do not have a line, you might find it easier to stay at 6 meters/19 feet rather then 4-5 meters/ 15 feet. This is due to the larger changes in the pressure at the lower depth.  Remember to watch your depth gauge or dive computer to make sure you stay at the right depth, and do not accidentally pop up to the  
                                                               surface.

WHEN TO DO A SAFETY STOP
Although in shorter dives in shallow water we may miss the safety stop, it is highly recommended for all dives. In that way we will become accustomed to this simple safety rule.

However, when we go deeper, like 30 meters/100 feet or more, we can not give it a miss. While engaging in this kind of diving, we may need to be ready for an emergency safety stop depending on the situation. Remember when you are doing a safety stop, it is important to maintain good buoyancy for the entire span of the stop to avoid depth changes. After you have completed the safety stop, you still need to rise slowly to the surface. While ascending, always maintain a speed of no more than 18 meters/60 feet per minute. In any case, for deep dives we cannot avoid safety stops. The safety stop is rather a decompression stop which allows a more controlled off-gassing and helps immensely in avoiding any discomfort. It keeps our dive as pleasant as desired by us. By now we should all understand the extreme important of performing a safety stop. Right? Therefore, remember to include this important act in your every dive and stay safe.
