My friend Jeff Wishnie has started a paragliding school, Pacific Skyways. This fine Saturday was their launch party. We hauled a sound system and shade structures out to the Pacifica cliffs, then took turns getting taken up on tandem flights. I felt completely safe and the experience of flying is wonderful. The launch was the trickiest part, but once up I felt like we were just floating. On the ground we chilled to the sounds of vordo, giamma, chakka, and brian. Awesome.
