Re: Fly to fly: Paragliding Alaska by Super Cub

I hate Paul! No, not really, in fact I sent him a message if he is ever in Idaho to look me up, as I have several easily foot launchable sites that I land at, in the biggest mountain range in Idaho. I still have the habit of thinking like a HG pilot as per a launch site and nothing is funner then taking off a real steep slope that would be good for a foot launcher. That picture of Paul being held up by his wing while standing on his Cub cowl is out of the box thinking, besides showing great skill. My only disappointment was NOT seeing him make any ski landings that were similarly different.

Am I the only one to think "how the hell does he make a living, to be able to afford what he does?" Sponsors? Rich kid? More power to him, a super cool article Zane, thanks for posting it.

It's his profession! He is sponsored by RedBull and Skywalk paragliders, among others.
