I personally believe there is no differentiating between going flying and going out ground handling. Put your harness all the way on put your helmet on and be ready to get plucked right up off the ground.
i've taken off from the flat (there is a dune afterwards) beach at esposende. when the wind is strong enough you can just "do a little hop" and the wing takes care of the rest.
Not sure your definition of flying makes sense, because by your definition speedflying would be called ground handling. Still a fun video, can't wait to get in the air, I'm working on getting my P2 (US paragliding certification) this summer!
I agree with Andre's definition of flying (be able to go any direction in the air including up and down)and because speedflying you are basically gliding down the mountain or soaring should be rename as speedgliding
Aww, man, you just called my 30 some bunny hill hops as not flying, hopefully I'll get to fly this summer, last summer I only managed to get towed twice and it was the most thrilling thing ever, hopefully I'll be able to get to cloudbase some time in the near future :)
I love the videos. But I’ve spent way too much time on Google maps trying to locate the beach. Could anyone spell it out here please? I just can’t hear what André is saying when he is presenting the location at the beginning of the video. Thank you ahead of time for the help!
I would like to propose that “flight” is when you have enough thrust, lift, or altitude, to be able to accelerate to trim speed. What do you think of that?
It's an interesting point! I'm not really sure, it always has to be taking into context I think. I'm sure for a helicopter, or paper airplane or Boeing 747 they might mean different things?
Hey guys. You make such well made videos and have such clockwork uploads, as well as your microphone having fabulous sound pick up on the beach. I would be curious to know what it is. As to the tandem aiding the Misty, lets analyze. Do you need more ballast? Or is the mass of the passenger translating into speed. Perhaps you need speed. :@ Please be careful, and thanks so much for my morning videos!
Speed helps and small wing/long lines help. But in this particular case it was nice that the extra passenger gave me extra speed but then bailed at the right point :P It's also totally doable without btw, we were just joking around :)
Andre Bandarra are there any harnesses in this category that you would recommend? Lightweight, ideal for ground handling, but also suitable for flight?
@@Andyg2g I've been looking for one for a long time but still none that I'm happy to recommend as THE one. However I've heard that Ozone is coming out with a new harness soon that could be the answer. We'll have to wait and see

for me it is flying if i have time to get seated in my harness, while groundhandling you always keep the landing gear down ;-)
ahahah :D good point
Good your flight, perfect
So much fun in the dunes!

Those are awesome! :D sometimes you don't even need to hop! czcams.com/video/VSmab9ZjOpc/video.html

Maybe it's speedfalling (with style) :P

Yes, then there's wing suits which is like space shuttle glide so... Me too working on P2, where abouts? Me in Vernon BC
@@bigsailboatproject Wingsuit BASE jumping is my end goal, but gotta start somewhere!
New Mexico
Flying is what you couldn’t have achieved by jumping. ✅
First? Just got a soup .... and now to enjoy this one. Thanks for uploading this video.
Your flying anytime your not falling meaning leave the ground using anything that might extend an otherwise fall either in or out of control.
Parachute?
Now I want to see Gemma fly some more too!
So do I!

Enjoy it! Learning to fly and getting those first hops is by far the best part of the whole experience! I loved it!
Definitions by Andre, fragrance for men. :D
ahahah cracked up!
the best playground !

Praia do Bom Sucesso & Foz do Arelho I think is what André is saying

Not explaining about ridge soaring

May I ask what kind of harness you are using?
This was a Gin Yeti, but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it

@@AndreBandarra1 I fly in a yeti convertible and love it. Perfect for hike, ground handling and short flights. Barely know you are wearing it
Not a second time?
Thought it was three in a row to make it count ha ha
Friday :P
???
NSFW harness and pants LOL
ahahah!
GOOD
