How to find the FIRST THERMAL on your paraglider!

Greg, I really got a lot out of this video. The narration combined with the Avery visual really helps me visualize the process. Thank you.

It's my pleasure, now I know you guys know the secret, and I've caused a few thousand hours more airtime! My mission is to accelerate the evolution of paraglidus migratus
Upwind thermals can also steal some of the upslope wind. Often when everyone starts getting lower on the ridge, the best tactic is to resolutely dive upwind and connect with the thermal that reduced the dynamic lift. So following lifty bits upwind is good, but also look for sudden sink cycles then push straight upwind instead of hugging terrain all the way down, under the thermal column.
Thanks, Canadian Skydiver pilot here first trying to scoop insights from the paragliding world.
I keep learning soooo much from your videos! Trying to get my skills up to par for XC, but sooo much more to learn. Thanks for this one! That’s what I needed to pin down those thermals!

very good video, well visualized, well explained, good for beginners
Greg this is really good! Holding onto the first weak climb is something I'm struggling with at the moment, it's going to be great to have this knowledge in the back of my brain when I fly next.
Very good video with Good hints. Have a great 2021 Greg! with many long and safe flights! And videos as well :). Tks for sharing.

Really really nice and thanks for sharing your experience
Super helpful video with the visualization.
Thank your for your helpful videos. I just started Paragliding this year and fell into love with it.
This was a very informative video, thanks Greg. I'm really hoping to get started with paragliding.
Again great content. I was out hunting my first thermal in the same conditions you are talking about (morning, shade on windward side). And what you talked about matched with what i expereienced, and has given me some great points to consider when i next head out.
Now that's how it's done :) Thanks for the tips, mate!
This is such a great presentation thank you very much Greg. Such a nicely concise explanation with excellent visuals.
Hi Greg, This is great instruction. Simple but very well presented.
Hi Greg, I love your idea of helping spread the paraglidus migratus! Your splendid and highly informative video reminds me of a flight in Bassano where I did exactly what you suggest doing but I wasn’t realising back then. You helped me improve my mental XC awareness in flight ...thank you so much, you’re topnotch for sure !
Thank you for the great videos! There are so many things to learn how to fly. 😉 Kind regards from Switzerland.
Thanks Greg. It all makes sense. I've been flying for 13 years now, but still hope to learn more. Your insights help me with that.
