When asked to hang out with friend who knew people going paragliding, I dropped everything to dash out to the dunes with my camcorder. I got sand in aforementioned camcorder, but that's just how dedicated I am, right? It was very windy and hard to keep the camera still, but I promise there's only one section that's really bad. I included it because it shows how far the wind pulled the paraglider.
What a learning experience! I got to see the equipment used to monitor speed and altitude, and I learned that flights can last for hours; you take food and adult diapers. Or you use a "Texas catheter," a condom attached to a tube. I've found the term on medical sites, so it's not just a pretty slang term!
