Top of the range for paragliding (any rating). Switch wings up top to compare. Hang gliders hold roughly 10 mph more than paragliders.
Flat, sea-level grass field in the Sunnyvale Baylands used for kiting and ground handling, not soaring - there's no terrain to ridge-soar, so you just face into the wind. Mornings are light or variable, building to a NW-W Bay sea breeze in the afternoon (the best steady-practice window). Smooth grass with no rotor or blowback, but the afternoon breeze can ramp up strong and gusty. Shared public park with kite flyers and RC aircraft.
