I am sort of biased, but I have to say that I think that towing is a great way to go. Nothing has helped my enjoyment of paragliding and teaching more than organizing things so that I end up on the water on a daily basis instead of at the end of long dusty roads.
The best part is that my friends and clients bring their wives and children out paragliding and it is a nice thing....hauling friends and family to the end of those roads was not nice(though I did it for lots of years).
In any case, the background is; for years you had to have $8500 and be willing to donate a truck or a boat to paragliding in order to go towing with any kind of predictability. Maybe the worst thing was that you had to have a fork lift or a crane to move a winch from a boat to a truck. Well, thankfully those days are over.... Call me crazy but I really think that there are going to be tons of clubs and individuals owning winches and a WHOLE bunch more flying taking place as a result.
Most importantly, know that my partner Nic and I are philosophically devoted to delivering winches all over the world AND here's the main thing: we want it to be fun and easy to get into towing and own the winches.
Holler if you have any questions.
Nic will be towing in Las Vegas this weekend if you would like to come up, get a look at the technology and log some tows on the dry lake-bed.
