This shop is absolutely amazing. I received my P2 through them 1 year ago and have since gone back to buy wings here and ask for advice. I can approach any one there about questions I have and they always have the answers and guidance. This is truly a top notch school that really cares about their customers and the sport.

I sent my glider to these guys for repairs/inspection after landing in a cotton field. My experience was excellent. I loved the free riser bag. Will ship my glider back to them all the way from Louisiana if I have to.

While down at Point of The Mountain we had great instruction that was given to both my wife and I from Kevin and Steve; they are both on top of their profession in terms of flying and teaching. My wife and I both had very different learning stylers, and they were quickly able to identify that and adjust their teaching to best suit us as individuals. Being a teacher myself, I took this for granted until I came home and started flying at my local site. I have quickly come to realize how all encompassing our instruction was. Being a novice pilot at best, I was surprised to be able to recognize many errors some of the other pilots were making, and even more shocked when I was able to give suggestions on launching techniques that were happily received. I even watched a guy try to repack his reserve into another harness, and only one other guy knew how to do it. I thought that this was just standard instruction; I guess not.
For a sport that has the potential for dangerous situations, I am glad that our two instructors were not only great flyers, but teachers, meteorologists, and understanding individuals that truly want all of their students to be as safe as possible. I will go back to Cloud 9 again for future instruction, and I urge anyone that is serious about paragliding to go there as well.

I was impressed. It was great fun. I learned a lot in my ten days here -- both about staying safe in this sport as well as the techniques required to launch, fly and spot land. Even though during my training I flew many times from the fabled Point of the Mountain, this school emphasized ground handling skills as the basis of becoming a good pilot. The instructors were all professionals who each shared a passion for the joy of free-flight. My expectations were exceeded and I could not stop smiling as I drove back to my home in Austin, Texas. Thank you, Cloud 9.
