If you have the level for it, you
can learn and practice with us the
following manoeuvres, at no extra cost.
Light S.I.V/Acrobatics
At Tintin or Blacky, we arrive at the beach high enough to do some manoeuvres. (be sure to be far enough out to sea, as you can drift considerably under a collapsed glider or a reserve!).
We remind you that Flying Paradise doesn’t offer any specific SIV or Accro training and that we do not have a boat with driver which is the only way to offer a complete recovery safety.
Any manoeuvre that you do is therefore under your own responsibility.
There are two aspects about crashing in the sea. If you arrive fast but stay conscious, you will probably only suffer bruising, whereas had you landed on the ground you may have died or broken a few legs, BUT if you become unconscious in the sea, you could died in a few minutes, whereas you may have only broken your legs crashing on the ground!
Reminder: To get out of a locked in spiral dive, (the most common cause of arriving fast into the sea). It’s necessary to use opposite weight shift ,whilst simultaneously releasing the inside brake and pulling strongly on the outside brake.
Important: Because of G force, you may need up to 10 times the normal force needed for a turn to pull this brake, you may even need to use both hands!
It makes sense to practice spiral dives progressively
