On a recent trip to alicante, we couldnt believe our eyes when this Spaniard confessed to being crazy when we showed concern for his safety. --- "I CRAZY" he said, we believed him.

Nutter!

Why doesn't he just have a different wing for stronger conditions? It just seems so stupid to fly a paraglider in strong winds.

a) Because he can!
b) Because he crazee!

The wind was actually stronger and more gusty than it was two weeks ago at Moneylaws. So, why don't hangies fly when the wind is strong?

At least within 10 mins he unpacked, gave it a go, did some wing overs, came back and top landed safely, packed away and went home for a drink!
But I still say, he crazee!

Taking off going back, full bar to inch forward, with what looks like not to much soft stuff behind.

Farewell and adieu to you, fair Spanish Ladies,
Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain;
For we've received orders for to sail for ole England,
But we hope in a short time to see you again.
