Flying is a skill that collects and builds like snowdrifts over time. When your paramotoring skill foundations are laid, you’re ready for a Blizzard to boost your progression. The Blizzard is designed to be safe and forgiving, easy to launch and fly but with the extra speed and performance you need to break your boundaries and explore further.

The Blizzard is an easy, safe and comfortable wing for less experienced pilots who are rapidly building their skills. It has a gentle reflex, and precise handling, so you’ll feel great while exploring your limits and progression will come naturally. We worked hard on ensuring the launch behaviour is very easy. The wing inflates smoothly and cleanly and the solid leading edge is forgiving of an over-enthusiastic launch pull. The risers are designed so the baby A’s split off high up and the pilot will naturally hold all A’s to launch. We chose a four-line layout for the Blizzard as this allow the reflex to be activated effectively by changing the trimmer settings. The long trimmers have a 12cm range, and smooth brass roller-cams are kind to the webbing and ensure smooth and easy operation. For even more speed there is also a speed bar with 12cm of travel. Trimmers out, bar on top speed is 54km/h and stability at top speed is excellent. Tip-steering toggles mean the pilot can learn and perfect wingtip-control without using the brakes when cruising at speed. The risers have both low and high hangpoints to suit different motors, and we’ll let you into a little secret: the test team discovered the Blizzard is beautiful to fly without a motor, too.

    • How much is training?
      Great question! A full course is $2500 if you are purchasing equipment through us. Or if you want to rent equipment for training the course is $3500.
    • Do you have to complete the 10 days consecutively?
      We understand that not everyone can take 10 days off to learn to fly, so we allow you to make a schedule with us to complete the course. The class does however has to be completed within 90 days from the commencement of your course.
    • How long does it take to complete a training course?
      Our class takes 10 days to complete and includes the 25 flights needed to graduate with your PPG 1 certificate.
    • Where are classes held?
      Houston PPG is fortunate to be situated along the picturesque Texas Gulf Coast. Our classes are conducted in diverse locations, including the free beach at Surfside Beach and San Luis Pass. These strategic locations provide ample opportunities for comprehensive training, leveraging the laminar winds emanating from the water. This environment offers a profound understanding and knowledge of your glider's responsiveness during flight.
    • If I previously had training elsewhere, but need additional training or a refresher course, can I do so?
      At times, life may lead us away from this exhilarating sport, and individuals may find themselves in need of a refresher. Whether you are seeking to reacquaint yourself with the fundamentals or transitioning to flying in higher wind conditions not typically encountered inland, we provide refresher courses. These sessions offer personalized one-on-one instruction via communication systems to ensure you regain proficiency and confidence in your flying abilities.
