Where?
Our private coaching is held at Tiger Mountain in Issaquah, Washington. Tiger offers consistent thermal flying and a short turnaround time between laps, enabling students to get 4-5 flights on a typical day! It is the perfect training arena and we are often rewarded with a beautiful glass off at the end of the day.​
Make an Informed Decision
Learning to fly is a life changing decision. As pilots progress in their flying career they develop a philosophy that enables them to stay safe and progress at a pace that is right for them using the knowledge and skills passed down by their instructor.
Finding the correct instructor is a very important part of this process and we recommend everyone take the time to ask members of the paragliding community who the best instructors are; we are confident you will find your inquiries will lead you back to us.
