Did you guys learn to paraglide first ?
Just curious if you were a paraglider first who decided to get into paramotoring or if you started with paramotoring? I bought an old wing years ago to learn how to kite and had fun teaching myself how to kite . I planned on jumping straight into paramotoring but saw so many videos at the time of guys really struggling when there engine went out or at least worried about it so I went to my local paraglide spot and talked to one of the instructors there who does both and his opinion was if you have the location near you to learn to paraglide , that learning how to free fly first and then stepping up to the paramotor was the best route . I got side tracked with some injuries the past few years and have been unable to pursue either but ive started to heal up and trying to decide what the best route for me may be , im fortunate that I live near Torrey pines in san diego so i have the ability to learn to paraglide at a world class spot but ideally paramotoring is what I want to get into . Thanks for your input I appreciate it.
