Living Life to the Fullest

A random sunset along the river. No tags for purity.

Awesome flight yesterday - dragging my feet through the grass, getting higher, swooping the ground grabbing the grass with my hand as I zoom by. I'm more than 4 years into this and I'm still crazy passionate about it. #parapente #paragliding #soaring #aviation #adventure #bucketlist #havenolimits #wildseekers #ElitePG #liveoutdoors #makemoments (at Bay Area Ridge Trail - Vallejo/Benica buffer)

Sometimes I wonder if I'll wake up and realize that all of this has been an amazing dream.

A view from the cockpit (if you’d even call it that) of a paraglider along the California Coast. You can go tandem paragliding with me! http://eliteparagliding.com/

Paragliding across the water from Mare Island in Vallejo. 

Cumulus clouds beckoning me. #ElitePG (at Blue Rocks Springs Park)

This view never gets old. Bumpy air was scary at moments and allowed me to get higher than I've ever been here. I was afraid to let go of the controls to capture the moment. (at Columbus Parkway)

In between storms, I took of my gloves (fingers were already freezing), and captured this.

I filmed one second every day (kind of) in 2015. There have been groundbreaking and eye opening highs as well as a few lows. It's been such an adventure and it's not over yet!

This feels like a scene out of Top Gun. (at Marshall's Beach)

The word "cold" now has a new meaning.

Despite the intense storm, I managed to teach these two handsome, fun, and brand new pilots how to fly. Photo taken minutes after a first flight. (at Velocity Paragliders)

Celebrated Jesus' birthday. #Santacon #santaconsf (at Washington Square (San Francisco))

I’m often asked what’s the best paraglider for soon to be or new paraglider pilots. My point is that it doesn’t matter and I wrote an entire article about it. http://pFlying.com/2015/12/selecting-your-first-paraglider-why-it.html
