Successes Every flight is a success for me! But in dates: getting the Dutch Champion (2007) in the flatlands is a major success. In 2006, I became second. In the five years competing I was only one time outside the top ten. My two over 100 km flights in the flatlands are feeling great
 
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 2008 Flying 150 km and some triangels in the mountains
     
Some flights from Hans 137 km / Getelo
