Epic Family Paragliding Day in Pacifica California!

At BlackHawk Paramotors, we know how to do “FUN!” In this Paragliding adventure video, some of our Team Pilots took their families to Pacifica California – a mecca for Paragliding on the West Coast. At the end of the day, one of the kids actually said “Hey dad… My face is soar from smiling today.” That just about sums up what we strive to do at BlackHawk!

One of the many benefits of getting into POWERED Paragliding is having the option to also go flying WITHOUT the “Powered” part… Some high-quality gliders like the Velocity Elektra were specifically designed to be flown with or without the motor. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities when it comes to personal flight. Many Pilots who can’t afford to get their motors yet will get into non-motored flight like “Paragliding.” This is a great way to build up skills, and for many, it’s the fastest way to get wings. The only things required for Paragliding Pilots are the glider, a harness, a helmet, and a sense of adventure!

Not everyone has a nice ridge like in Pacifica to get into Paragliding. Even though Paragliding is an absolute blast, it has its limitations… Powered Paragliding on the other hand is limitless. The main advantage of having a motor is not having to rely on the wind to be airborne. Powered Paragliding Pilots can fly in zero wind anytime they like! Sometimes it’s just easier to takeoff from your backyard instead of driving to the closest coastal ridge!
