Yannick was great - I didn't have to worry about anything.
Yanik the instructor made the paragliding experience, he was fun and energetic and we had a laugh making the experience more enjoyable.
The instructor was nice. As I am a snowboarder, we first tried to do it with the snowboard. Unfortunately, it was more difficult than I imagined and the first attempt failed. We tried a second time without the snowboard (running) and everything went good. I communicated in French but the instructor also could speak Englisch if necessary. The instructor did some tricks in the air and also let me pilot for a while. It did feel shorter than 10 minutes in the air but maybe that's just a feeling. I didn't check my watch.
Cool sympas
très sécurité
