Our students and passengers love us as much as we love them!
Chris, I want to thank you for making me feel 20 yrs. old again. My time with you was some of the best time I have spent on this earth. I am ALIVE again. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with me. Really enjoyed the pics you sent. See ya on the first.
Regards, Pete
Dear Chris:
I just wanted to drop you a short note to thank you, Jeff, and your other instructors for the wonderful experience that I have had learning to fly paragliders with Super Fly. As a commercial pilot and flight instructor with over 3,000 hours in many different types from Piper Cubs, to sailplanes and twin engine turbines, as well as over 1,000 hours in ultralights, I expected learning to fly a paraglider to be a lot like flying everything else that I have flown. It was not, but the patience, experience, and skills of you and all of the instructors at Super Fly helped me quickly learn the differences and understand what it takes to fly as close to a bird as a human can probably ever get! I could never have imagined how enjoyable this type of free flight really is.
The equipment was all in excellent condition and during my training I got to fly several different wings. After getting signed off as a P2, I really appreciated being able to continue to use Super Fly’s gear for the over water training and to build time until we could make a decision on which wing to purchase. By the time we made a decision and my wing arrived, I had over 100 flights and 26 hours of flight time. Even though it is now nine months later, Chris, Dale, Jeff, and Carson all continue to comment on my flying, whether it is to complement me on how I am doing, make suggestions as to what I should practice, or correct a bad habit I have picked up. I greatly appreciate this follow through because I know that it continues to make me a better and safer pilot. The wing, harness, and other gear that I purchased are all excellent and I am very pleased with the decisions that we made.
Thanks again to all of you for making this a fantastic learning experience and introducing me to this wonderful sport.
Sincerely, Sandy
Chris,
As always thanks for all your expertise and enthusiasm. Your ability to teach people gliding skills and to learn to enjoy soaring in the air is exceptional. I had an unbelievable time last week. I can't believe I was speed gliding in just hours. It was quite the thrill! Hopefully the weather wiill be a bit more cooperative next time so we can add some skis to the Nano! You took the mystery out of using a paramotor as well as getting towed. Your gradual teaching methods on flying and landing with a paramotor on my back made it fun and easy. Thumbs up to the towing experience and to Superfly!!! Looking forward to flying with you again in the very near future.

I really appreciate your maturity, knowledge and professionalism for flying. I dream about the flying at Valle and look forward to some more time flying and learning with you and Jeff.
You have a gift for teaching. Believe me, I’ve had a lot of teaching (and done some) for a lot of things over the last 60 plus years, and you’re as good as it gets! Your knowledge, experience, and passion for teaching with patience, calmness, clarity, enthusiasm, and tolerance for bozos, etc are a rare gift in teaching--in any field. You’re in the top 1/10 of 1%. I really mean that.
This trip just made me so much more aware of how much more I need to learn, and hungry to learn it. Alas, 30 yrs too late, but better late then never!! Ginger and I just have a ball with you guys.

Thanks for a great week!

I have met with Chris several times in the last couple years, and every time i am not only amazed by his knowledge, but his ability to teach others that knowledge. I work with doctors and scientists - knowledge is common, but the ability to disseminate it is not. On top of that he is a relaxed/mellow guy who is always able to laugh at himself (important in my opinion), and an uncanny ability point out stuff you totally missed - without making you feel stupid.

As a person who is truly afraid of heights, I was really scared to go flying with you. I had heard that Paragliding is a great way to get over that fear. I didn't believe it. I couldn't believe it; the second we took off, I was totally at ease. The tandem flight was so smooth and relaxing that I felt like I was in a trance. That was the best experience, best therapy, best everything that I have done in my whole life(besides having kids of course)... Here is the best part: I am not afraid of heights anymore. I am just afraid of being high when not attached to a paraglider.
The anticipation of doing the flight was second only to the satisfaction of having faced up to my fears. Your tandem pilots are some of the sweetest and funnest guys that I have had the pleasure of meeting in years. I am sending everyone I know to take a flight with you at Jordanelle.
