I just spent five days of my USA vacation paragliding in Bear Lake, Utah with Chris Santacroce of Superfly. If you're ever considering flying a paraglider on a trip (they pack up small), then the over-the-water safety/maneuvers course is a must.

During the week, I witnessed paraglider pilots of all types and levels uploading lots of skills. Of course, hang gliding couldn't copy this instruction concept entirely, but there is surely room to parallel some of the ideas behind it.

I was thoroughly impressed, had a ton of fun, and felt it was money ($1000) well spent. After some thought and planning, I'll definitely use a similar version of it with my hang gliding students in Oz.
