  • Paragliding in Arizona

    I live in Presott and debated where to go for training. I trained with Desert Wind and took advantage of the SuperFly partnership and did training at both locations. It was really great. I also took over the AZHPA President role from Chandler so he could get back to teaching."

    “Chandler knows how to fly and get his students up in the sky! He will work with you and teach you everything you need to know to be able to walk up to launch prepared assess the conditions and step into a fascinating new world.”

  • I especially appreciate the consistent "mind game" training Chandler applies and how involved he is in the local community. I took his position as President of our local AZHPA flying club and it's quite the group of flying friends I have now."
