Relaxed and fun

I am still amazed at how relaxed and fun the course was. Our instructor was very good at his job and i trusted his expertise and ability to teach us the way we needed to be taught. It was good that we had enough ground handling in the beginning even it was very hot :)  The second practice day was not so good with the weather to us but we managed to find a suitable spot for ground handling in a smooth slope (up in Tribalj)

When we started flying it was very nice that Marko was on the radio all the time and told us to do what we needed to do, it is important that you can count on that and the instructor is constantly watching after you. I felt very safe every moment and we had as well very good weather all the time. After the first flights from 150m the fear was almost gone and i was not so scared anymore of it when we took higher flights.

I found it very important that we discussed after all the flights and had a chance to tell about how we felt and what went wrong and what went right. And of course, the moments at Josiba´s table after the day left me with nice memories :) Transportation went perfectly on Marko´s car and with other pilots who drove us around so we didn´t have to have a rental car. There were so many other things to think about than driving in a foreign country and seeking the places...

We are about to buy our own equipment in a few weeks and i thank Marko for the advice on that too and i hope you have some time to guide us in the future.

I want to wish good luck to you Marko and Alma on competitions and with paragliding school. Hope to meet you sometime in the future, let´s keep in touch!

Best regards, Sami Pitkäkoski, Finish pilot
