Paragliding DVD: Ground Handling Techniques

Ground handling is one of the most important skills a paraglider or paramotor pilot can develop. Learning how to properly control the wing on the ground helps pilots build confidence and develop a deeper understanding of canopy behavior.

The Paragliding Ground Handling Techniques DVD demonstrates practical exercises that help pilots improve their wing control while practicing on the ground.

By mastering ground handling skills, pilots can significantly improve their launch success and overall flight safety.

What You’ll Learn

• Wing control techniques while on the ground
• Forward and reverse kiting methods
• Managing the canopy in different wind conditions
• Understanding wing feedback and control inputs
• Building confidence before launching

These skills are valuable for both paragliding pilots and powered paragliding (paramotor) pilots, as strong ground handling abilities lead to safer and more consistent launches.
