The adventures of the morning…

Both Deron and Charles were out flying early in the morning. In the case of Deron, this will be his last flight adventure of this trip, since he has to return to the USA for professional reasons.

In the case of Charles, we took advantage of his flight experience, so that he could test the latest model of sports paraglider that came to us from the people at Sky Paragliders. The 18 meter Z-Blade, Charles flew it and had some interesting comments about it…

Pablo Cruz was assisting Luis Ruiz with Efrain and Orlando‘s paraglider inflation practices. He even made some Towing flights to Orlando. The time for the first “solo” flight for both father and son is approaching…

The windy afternoon…

The wind conditions became windy, exceeding 18 mph+, so flights were limited. We even had a friend, Rey Lis, who has flown with us before, ready to fly, but the flight was postponed.

At the end of the practices of the day, there was a kite challenge for Efrain and Orlando…, they had to carry their inflated paragliders to the pick-up area. About 200 meters of walking and kiting controlling the paraglider, and they managed to do it!!!

In Loiza – Darwin Hernández’s birthday…

Some members of Team Kamikazes were camping in Loiza. The idea was to celebrate Darwin‘s birthday there, who had previously indicated that he wanted to camp there. The wind, as expected was strong, they still managed to make some flights.

Pilots present were, Darwin Hernández, Edgardo Rivera and his wife Wilnelia, Pedro Agostini and his girlfriend Nigmy, Enrique González, Ariel Rodríguez and José Santini. Here we leave some photos and videos taken during the activity.
