Any topics related to paragliding, and acro flying.

Keep flying acro during december ?

Hi everybody !
I'm looking for a place where I could fly acro during this winter ( december and january ).
I just did my first compet the last week and I want to keep flying acro for the two months coming before begin the instructor formation which doesn't let lot of time for personal flying.
So if you know a place where I can find acro pilotes, to fly and progress with them or you, it could be awesome.

I heard about Olüdeniz, iquique or Malaga ( north from Grenade ) but I would like to go on a spot where I can find peoples who are training too.

Aspect Ratio on acro

Has AR something to do in acro? I've seen that generally freetyle wings has less AR than acro wings. Less AR is safer/easier for learning? With more AR the pilot has more control?

Thx

Paragliding - reducing the ecological footprint

Hey guys,

I just wrote an open letter to a lot of people involded in paragliding to draw
our attention to the ecological and social impacts of our beloved sport.

We depend on nature and we are somehow responsible for what happens with our
gliders, harnesses and other equipment.

I think we need to reduce the negative effects of travelling around the world
as well as help to improve the situation of people working in paragliding manufacturing
in the development countries.
