Strong Winds and Thermals in Yagoyama, Aso



On Monday, March 26, 2012 we went paragliding at Yago yama in Aso. The weather was a little hazy with strong northwest wind. The strong thermal conditions in addition to the wind made for bumpy conditions during the day but a delightful flight in the evening.

Big Air Big Skies- XC to Ichifusa Mountain


弱い北風を期待して、人吉の近くの白髪岳でパラに行こうと決まった。午後からコンディションはどんどんよくなって白髪岳の上高度2550mほどまで上がって夕方の西風に乗り20km以上はなれた市房山まで飛びました。市房で九州の脊梁でコンバージェンスがあって東側の空気は湿っていたから、雲の上を飛べました。素晴らしい景色を楽しんで日没まであわせて6時間飛びました。
On Monday, February 27, 2012 expecting a weak north wind, we decided to go paragliding at Shiragadake near Hitoyoshi. As conditions gradually improved, Rik was able to soar up to 2550m over Mt.Shiragadake and fly over 20kms on the west wind to Mt.Ichifusa. There he entered a thermal convergence zone over the Kyushu Sekiryou Range and rose above the clouds caused by moist east wind blowing over the mountain. The flight continued until sunset and lasted over 6 hours. This was a record breaking flight for Rik as he broke his altitude, distance and duration records.
