From all parts of the island the family of Team Kamikazes met to share in Punta Bandera, Luquillo. Home of the illustrious Team pilot, Juan Carlos Correa. It all started with an offer during the week from Pablo Cruz and his wife Millie of making some “alcapurrias”, and to that, Juan Carlos added some ribs to the mixture. And the recipe for a great activity was prepared.
Saying present to the activity were:
Pablo Cruz and his wife Millie
Juan Carlos Correa
Luis Ruiz, his wife Jessica and son Noah Enrique
Carmelo Martínez, his wife Miriam and daughter Camille
Carlos Cándido Rodríguez, his wife Wilma and children CC Jr., Valeria and Fabo
David Silva, his wife Elsie and Parents
Michael Diaz and his parents Papo and Dali
Chey Sánchez and his wife Arlene
Ricardo Gonzalez and his wife Ermelinda
Gregory Santiago
Eduardo Pabon
Omar Román
Rubén Castro
Pin Pin Castillo
Radames “Randy” Tirado
Sao Cruz
Luis “Tiza” López
Jose Santini
Ted Sowinski
To complete the day, the weather was pretty good. It is a pity that coastal erosion has affected the entire northern area of the island. That’s the only limitation that we had for takeoff and landing area.

There was a lot of food and drink. Everyone contributed to it. We need to say that CC, JC, Tiza, Pablo, Luis and David made important contributions 😜. Thank you!!!
Among the visits, it was nice to see Sao, a native of Ponce, who is returning as one of the pioneers of the sport. He came with Randy. And it looks like the next months and flights in La Guancha in Ponce are taking new heights again 💪. Also, there was Rubén who came from Cidra and Ted from Rincon. At first chance both started to practice hard with the paraglider in the process of accompanying us in the air as soon as possible.
As for flights, as we indicated, the space situation was difficult even for the most experienced pilots. This did not prevent Eduardo from launching early. He was followed by Chey, Omar, CC, JC, Luis, Randy, Tiza, David, Michael and CC Jr who flew all day back and forth around the surrounding places. At some point in landings, the paragliders of JC, Tiza and Randy had close encounters with the water😲. As for the distance flights, CC, JC, Eduardo and Randy, went on long flights first towards Loiza, and later in Fajardo direction.
It was a day of great of sharing and living the sport. For those who could not arrive for whatever reason, know that we had an excellent time and you lose it. And as always we thank God for that opportunities that he bring to us 🙏.
Here are some photos and videos that best explains how was the action. I hope you like it 🙂.
