MAASIM, Sarangani, April 14 (PIA) -- Sarangani is a good flying site for paragliding said Armand Dard, a French national and a visiting paragliding professional instructor. | |||
"This is my second time in the Philippines and my first time in Sarangani. Last year I did some paragliding in Carmona, Cavite and also in Boracay but this place which I discovered one month ago is a better flight site,” Dard said. | |||
The flying site is located at SAFI Ranch 1 in barangay Seguil, less than 30 minutes drive from General Santos City. | |||
The flight site is overlooking Sarangani Bay. | |||
“It has comfortable take off and landing sites,” Dard noted. “It also has big landing site comfortable for beginners and you can fly almost everyday." | |||
Dard is conducting paragliding international standard trainings to members of the newly-formed Sarangani Paragliding Club. | |||
“You ask what is the next big thing in Region 12, we are crossing our fingers -- but I believe in a heartbeat, it’s going to be Paragliding in Sarangani. It is definitely a number 1 for fun!” said an exuberant Michelle Solon, chair of the Regional Tourism Council. | |||
“Who said there is no wind around Sarangani Bay? On the contrary there is enough wind!” added Solon who has tried sky sports paragliding. | |||
Joseph Oncada, vice president of Sarangani Paragliding Club said they started paragliding in September last year, “and this is the newest sport in the country." | |||
"To those who want to become pilots, or just want to experience flying in tandem, we offer training and tandem flights," Oncada said. | |||
A short flight or a maximum of 10-minute flight would cost P2,300. “For a long flight or 15 to 20-minute flight, we charge P3,000," Oncada added. | |||
Oncada said the Sarangani Paragliding Club will also have a paragliding accuracy competition on May 18 in time for Sarangani Bay Festival.. (DED-PIA 12/CSexcion/Sarangani Information Office) | |||
