A 11 Thermal! | Tikuna Paragliding

Ever wondered how Paragliders get so high up? 🧐👇 In paragliding, a thermal (or lift) is a pocket of warm, rising air created by the sun heating the ground. When your wing hits one, that warm air pushes you up like an invisible elevator. Pilots circle inside it to climb higher and higher, riding that lift all the way to the clouds. It’s how we get those epic views without an engine 😉 And as you can see here, these lucky customers caught a thermal right on takeoff 🪂✨ wanakaparagliding.co.nz |
