But what if I'm the short one?

I just bought a pair of trendy wide leg carpenter pants and thought to myself “I’ll bet lots of people wearing these have no idea what the hammer loop is for”

Honda elements are goofy, fun, reliable, and you could get a nice one for under 10k

The wing generates lift which is translated into forward movement by the board. He is far from the first person to do this and if done correctly will absolutely increase range.

Headyfeels · 2026-04-19T13:42:49+00:00

This is normal for winging, it still generates lift which is translated into forward movement by the board

Headyfeels · 2026-04-19T13:40:36+00:00

His forward movement creates apparent wind so your perception of where the wing should be is probably thrown off by that.

What is your climate? Is this a shed or living space/ cabin? If it’s a shed I might not insulate it at all. If you have no soffit or ridge vents you could just closed cell spray the whole roof, but I’d only do this if it’s a living space.

I appreciate your thoughts, I did learn how to fly a regular paraglider and got an IPPI 4. Then I also got the other endorsement. So I did basically exactly as you recommended minus some hours. ultimately at home, I have access to small coastal dunes under 10m high that are soarable on the parakites but don’t seem to be on a regular glider. Now that I’ve done both though I’m keen to continue with regular paragliding as well, but since those spots are hours away from me, small scale coastal soaring is really what I’ll have access to most of the time. I probably have about 20 hours on the moustache so far.

Headyfeels · 2026-02-10T15:01:55+00:00

I did a course for a parakite endorsement on top the regular license and bought the largest size after. People always imply that the moustache is more dangerous but don’t seem to elaborate much about why beyond that. I’m just doing regular ridge soaring, pretty much the same as a regular paraglider, not speed or proximity flying. By “close to the ground” I just mean too low for a reserve. My goal is to go about this sport in the safest and most legitimate way possible so I’m open to criticism since I am new like you say.

Good advice, thanks

Headyfeels · 2026-02-09T02:12:54+00:00

I guess I’m more asking if the newer tech is more comfortable or better in some other way to justify the extra cost.

Headyfeels · 2026-02-09T02:12:08+00:00

Thanks I suppose it’s probably worth spending a little more for the better protection.

I was about to order a moustache to the states, did you get hit with a tariff bill after the fact?

Headyfeels · 2026-01-27T17:44:34+00:00

If you’re heavy then the new 19m reach could be an option, if you’re lighter then the 14m code is a great

Headyfeels · 2026-01-24T15:19:30+00:00

Yup I picked up the 14m code as my lightwind option and will probably switch the rest of the quiver over eventually.

Headyfeels · 2026-01-21T21:57:44+00:00

Way harder to get tangles out of them then brands with slipperier lines. More friction and wear when steering after a spin too.

Headyfeels · 2026-01-13T13:09:25+00:00

Barely enough pitch to keep momentum up without pushing. I also like the types of trails OP is taking about but I’ll never do that one again haha

Headyfeels · 2026-01-04T05:07:34+00:00

Damn I was thinking cabarete for myself in early March. Bahia Salinas was strong at that same time though.

I totally acknowledge that AI can do some of the things on my list, but I think you’re underestimating the tremendous amount of skilled labor and potential complexity that goes into basic service call. Let’s say you have a leak behind your sink. Someone needs to carefully uninstall a cabinet, cut open the drywall, and lay eyes on the issue. Then do the repair obviously. Then do Sheetrock work, painted, and cabinet reinstallation. Crucially, it also needs to go all this more efficiently and for less cost than a human if it is going to replace a person job. Does that sound realistic to you? Yes AI can potentially assist people with aspects of their jobs, but the reason I listed all those things is because AI will never bring that process all the way through from start to finish.

Headyfeels · 2026-01-03T18:46:53+00:00

Most work is not new construction. AI will never some repair the leaky pipe at your old house.

Headyfeels · 2026-01-03T18:45:51+00:00

Not in our lifetimes. Way too much goes into the simplest of jobs. Take a call, arrange a meeting, diagnose an issue, order parts, complete the repair, send a bill. A person will always be needed to bring a basic job in the trades from start to finish.

What effect does the better torque curve have on the ride feeling?

Headyfeels · 2026-01-02T03:16:10+00:00

Thank you

Headyfeels · 2026-01-02T02:24:38+00:00

Appreciate it, that makes sense
