📍PARAGLIDING

👉 Paragliding is the recreational and competitive adventure sport of flying paragliders: lightweight, free-flying, foot-launched glider aircraft with no rigid primary structure. 👉 The pilot sits in a harness or lies supine in a cocoon-like 'pod' suspended below a fabric wing. Wing shape is maintained by the suspension lines, the pressure of air entering vents in the front of the wing, and the aerodynamic forces of the air flowing over the outside. 👉 The first (unofficial) Paragliding World Championship was held in Verbier, Switzerland, in 1987, and the first officially sanctioned FAI World Paragliding Championship was held in Kössen, Austria, in 1989. #pindle #pindleindonesia #pindlegems #pindlehongkong #mytravelstory #guidebook
