Austin Wing Mastery Seminar

Austin, Texas is beautiful. There is a healthy paragliding/hang gliding flying community there as well. I was invited by Paul Greenwood and Gary Leach to put on a paramotoring seminar for Paraglide Texas.

Paul has a very nice piece of property in Leander (just outside of Austin) and has tow capabilities and a nice ridge site called Packsaddle Mountain.

Paul teaches all year, so if you are in the central Texas area, give him a call (see website).

Washington Instructor Seminar

I just returned from Cashmere, Washington. We had a very productive and innovative USHGA instructor certification program where the mix of candidates were: basic, advanced and administrator.

Veteran instructors, Dale Covington and Doug Stroop attended the seminar to be considered for Instructor Administrators with the USHPA. This is the first Instructor Clinic that I have put on where administrator candidates were present. Aerial Paragliding is considered to be the largest flight park in the country. It's an unlikely setting as it is situated in the middle of a gigantic canyon, but it works and it is a stunning place to fly and learn of just hang.

Amoung the instructor candidates: Stephan Mitrovich (Basic Instructor Candidate), Andy Keller (Advanced Instructor Candidate), Michele McCullough (Basic Instructor Candidate), Doug Stroop (Administrator Candidate) and Dale Covington (Administrator Candidate).
