In South Africa ,paragliding(滑翔伞运动)is one of the most popular sports around gliding in South Africa is a delight and at times, a frightening challenge.
A paragliding is , firstly, someone who has been well taught in the skill of flying . Once you have done the 4-day course and decide that you have the right mental attitude and the basic physical requirements, the mountain slops wait for you . If you have never tried before, you are sure to learn it in a few days, but safety comes first.
Strangely , the relatively flat Karoo heartland is one of the best areas to paragliding in. The town of De Aar and Kuruman in the Northen Cape province are center of Karoo paragliding . South Africa paragliders hold more than 50% of the world records in this sport---most of them set in the Karoo. But why are paragliders so crazy about the Karoo? “The cloud base there is so high and the wind is proper and stable . You can glide for hours , going up as high as 4000meters in the sky.” They explain.
Foreign pilots wanting a taste of South Africa’s paragliding opportunities can get a short-time license. They can hold it for three months at most cal examination and insurance are needed by the South African Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association.
The Western Cape has more than 60 official paragliding launch and flight sites. Up north along the Drakensberg slope, you will see the brave “One-Wing” doing their thing daily, flying in the sky or taking the “redge lift”, riding a wave of wind as it clears a mountain slope.
