Some feedback from Flybubble students, tandem passengers, pilots and customers... LOTS MORE still to be added!

John Stevens

The course and trip were even better than I expected! Not just good but excellent!

My thermalling technique improved, good to fly in gaggles and I've hopefully removed my blinkers!

I did 22 flights and logged 20 hours. My longest flight was 4 hours 39mn!

Distances were: 68km, 59km, 39km, 24km (and many more)... My longest XC before was 25 km.

Hello Nancy and Carlo

Thank you both for an absolutely wonderful experience last Saturday, truly wonderful. I think I can say that I am hooked! Cannot wait to do another one.

I had an email from Kelly and James. They really are buzzing about paragliding (they're saving up to train to become pilots) great to see that they enjoyed it so much.

Thank you again for a great day and hope to see you again.

Many thanks, June

UK Paragliding Courses (38 items)

Some feedback from people who've learnt to paraglide with Flybubble Paragliding in the UK...

Andrew Bedwell - Sevenoaks, Kent

Dear Carlo,

Just a quick note to say that the Club Pilot course you ran was absolutely fantastic.

As a senior sports instructor in another sport, I tend to look further into the way people teach and how they put across what they would like you to do - I felt that your teaching techniques where unsurpassed, with clear definite objectives that were well thought out to match the conditions. Although some other instructors where also present on the hill, it was quite evident to me that you were in a league above.

Thank you for what you managed to do for me, and know you put yourself out more in terms of time than you had to.

I wish you all the best and will be definitely recommending Flybubble to EVERYONE interested in the sport.

Andrew, AllGoodFun Kitesurfing

Andrew Parsons - High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire

Dear Flybubble,

Having completed my EP and CP course with Flybubble over the last one and half years, I felt some form of feedback ought to be forthcoming.

Setting my goals on achieving a Club Pilot rating was without a doubt a daunting and exhilarating process. I can still vividly remember my first day with Nancy, trying to fathom out the spaghetti like strings and her patience and understanding were unbelievable.

The gradual drip feed of knowldege, tips and advice from Carlo, Greg and Nancy were so well timed that their relevance has shaved off years of further learning.

The actual flying demonstrations and tuition by Carlo were sublime and guidance on the purchase of equipment was fantastic.

I would like to say a very big thank you to the Flybubble team for providing such a complete and professional package. It really is no wonder that you attract students from all over England.

Cheers and thanks for everything. Andrew

Gerry Bradnam - Bromley, Kent

Carlo,

Just a short note to thank you for all your efforts in getting me airborne.

The training provided by the team at Flybubble was well organised, professional and great fun. Your advice on equipment has also proved invaluable and the continued help and encouragement you still give me on the hillside is much appreciated.

I asked for the course to be as quick as possible and you made every effort to oblige. I always felt that the training was conducted at a good but safe pace that suited me and built my confidence.

I have already recommended Flybubble to a number of friends and would be happy to be used as a reference for anyone considering them.

The February trip to Greece was one of the best activity holidays I have been on and I have been on quite a number. I certainly hope to join you on any future trips.

Regards Gerry

Hi Nancy,

Could you please pass on my thanks to Simon for all the instruction he gave me last week. I feel I have regained some confidence and found his advice invaluable. I am now looking forward to getting out and flying again to increase my experience and flying time.

I would also like to say a big thank you to you, Carlo and the rest of the Flybubble team for the brilliant service I have received from you all. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you to anyone one who wished to learn to paraglide.

I look forward to seeing you out on the hill sometime and maybe joining you all on one of your overseas trips one day.

James Hope-Lang - Haywards Heath, West Sussex

Many thanks for your help and encouragement today.

The tandem flight was the most instructive thing I've done to date. At take-off it was really helpful having you on standby and thank you for the radio advice when in the air.

See you guys soon,

James Hope-Lang

Advanced Ground Handling (7 items)

Matthew York - Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex

Thanks for the advanced ground handling day yesterday. You are such a patient bunch. Who would have thought that, in such a small window of good weather, you would have us all kiting from side to side with the wings almost on their tips. Everyone was smiling from ear to ear as the penny dropped and we got it.
Lots of tips and techniques for trouble free launches in all conditions too, and the theory sessions also covered how to get down in strong wind conditions. I wish I'd have known that the previous day :)
No hesitation recommending everyone does this course - from newbies to experienced pilots.
Thanks for a great day.

Wendy Pearce - Tunbridge Wells, Kent

Hi Carlo. Thank you for a very informative day. I thought Greg explained the theory extremely clearly, for me it made better sense of why/how we fly and luckily we were then able to put it into practice on the day. I thought the attention we had from all of you was excellent, ironing out bad habits and getting the best out of ground handling. I would be very interested in any other relevant courses as, as a low airtime pilot, there is so much more to learn and practice.
Thanks again,
Wendy

Marcel Gibert - Bognor Regis, West Sussex

Thanks to all the Flybubble team for an enjoyable and enlightening ground handling workshop yesterday. I wish I'd done such a course years ago. I was beginning to think that my slow progress was due to lack of ability. Now I know that the problem was rather a very hazy understanding of the basic principles (explained with great clarity in the theoretical part) and the lack of focused, attentive and patient tuition beyond the basics taught during the initial training. I'm looking forward to work on all I learnt and understood on this rainy Saturday. I may well come back for more in a few months to check on my progress... and just for the fun of it!
