Paragliding Instruction

Seattle and greater NW Washington paragliding lessons

We offer excellent one on one training at a variety of locations. Your first few flights will be with a tandem instructor, most likely from Tiger Mtn. in Issaquah, WA. This will enable you to become familiar with the handling of a paraglider, how launches and landings are handled, etc. Additionally, there is ground handling training at Lake Sammamish, Whidbey Island, and sometimes Cape Kiwanda, OR. Ground handling is an essential part of your training and included as a part of our course.

Our course will allow you to complete your first 2 levels of certification which are P-1 (beginner) and P-2 (novice). After you successfully complete your P-2 training you'll be able to fly within certain limitations without the direct supervision of your instructor!

Course fee $1500 (your initial tandem flight(s) fee is deducted from your course fee if you decide to enroll in our training program).

Equipment is provided, we suggest you have a good pair of hiking boots with sturdy ankle support and no hooks, and a pair of sunglasses. Light jacket during the summer is recommended along with sunscreen and be sure to bring drinking water when going on instructional flights as there can be periods of waiting time for optimal conditions.

At Ravens Dance Paragliding we believe that the two most important elements in paragliding are:

1.) Being able to control your paraglider while near or on the ground – what we call “being one with your wing”, and.....

2.) Understanding the relationship of weather with terrain and making good solid decisions based on the information you will learn at Ravens Dance.

We carry a full range of paragliding gear and will work closely with you to determine the best fit for your needs.

Completion of our training program is only the beginning as we regularly fly with former students and you'll find yourself among kindred spirits as you continue your journey!! At Ravens Dance Paragliding it is our goal to provide you with an informative, safe and FUN flying adventure!
