Mussel Rock Site Introduction

Mussel Rock is one of the most popular paragliding sites in the country. A dramatic coastal bluff on the border of Daly City and Pacifica, just fifteen minutes south of San Francisco. With reliable ocean winds, spectacular views. It can be an amazing place to fly but can also be very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.  

We start with a full site walkthrough:

Launch locations, where you can take off from, and how to choose the right one based on the day.
Wind, what ranges are workable, what’s pushing it, and what’s a no-go.
What to watch for, rotor, compression, weird spots that catch people off guard.
Tides, when the beach is usable and when it isn’t.
Bailouts, exactly where you can land if things don’t go to plan.
Positioning, how to manage altitude and stay in the right part of the lift band.
Blowback, how it happens here and how to avoid it.

Radio Coaching

After a thorough walkthrough on the ground, we'll get you fitted with the radio and coach you through your first flight.
