Wow first flight, that sucks. Hope he gives paragliding another shot. I doubt he'd let that happen a second time.

Sounds like he confused Palm Sunday with Ash Wednesday. Glad to hear no one was injured.

In case anyone in Login's family is into scrapbooking, his story was reposted in LA news today:

Technically they rescued a "paraglider" and the paraglider PILOT from the tree, but at least it wasn't referred to as a parachute or hang glider!

So glad Logan was o.k. and it's nothing more than Palm jokes. Decorate a palm tree, check, done that. O.k. moving on. Hey, I'm back!!! Nothing too dramatic just flying with friends like old times. Fun to have some new pilots around and great to see some of the old crew. Thermals were smooth and friendly and no birds attacked me and to finish up the day a nice landing at the beach. Thanks to Jay for the ride back. Great to fly in SB!!!!
