What does paragliding
mean to you ?
In general is every sport where nature has a part attractive to me, but while flying I feel everything in 3D. I feel completely independent and it is the most relaxing thing there is. The excitement of finding a thermal, but also the excitement of a good flight gives that strange exiting feeling.
 
Targets for this
season ?        
Flying 160 km distance and some triangels in the mountains be in the top five of the Dutch championship; top 5 at Chabre open, probably Slovenian Serialcup
