THE WIND

Reading conditions, choosing gear

The course emphasizes understanding weather forecasts and determining wind strength, direction and quality so you can choose and set up equipment appropriate to conditions.

THE SKILLS

SAFETY & SELF-RELIANCE

Self-launch, right-of-way and jump theory

Lessons cover right-of-way rules, self-launch risk assessment and the theory and safety rules for jumping, culminating in landing a basic jump.
