We returned to La Guancha in Ponce, when yesterday (Saturday) we had to postpone it due to the proximity of the effects of Hurricane Franklin to the North of the island. Today, as expected, the hurricane moved away from the island and ideal flight conditions remained for the entire southern area of the island.
This time we had a house Full of pilots who came from different parts of the island to live their flying experiences, many of them comes to fly for the first time in Ponce. Fortunately, each and every one of them managed to make their flights as planned.

The weather…
The morning began with light winds, which stabilized around 9:30 AM. At that time the winds began to enter from the South, with an intensity of 5 to 10 mph, which was maintained throughout the day.
Activities and Plans in the morning…
Pedro Agostini and Edgardo Rivera coordinated to bring a BBQ to the place, along with some meat and then everything was ready in La Guancha to fly and share with pilot friends and family. Among the notable events while we still in preparation, Edgardo received his new ultra-fast paraglider, the 15-meter Flow RPM 2, from Instructor Luis Ruiz… surely this is one of the faster and more radical Paraglider worldwide right now. Also, the student Fio Lopez came to make his 3rd paramotor flight and other student, Luis Antonio came looking for his first “solo” fly ever. The rest of the pilots, with the exception of Edgardo and Luis, didn’t had previous flying experiences in La Guancha in Ponce.
