Retail Manager of Cyprus Ways Rent a Car, beautiful lady Hasibe Bulut, is one of the paragliders. As Hasibe Bulut shared with North Cyprus one of the flights she had made in Selvili Tepe, Kyrenia, she recommended everyone to try paragliding.

 

 

On the other hand, Hasibe Bulut stated that she always had an interest in sports and she played handball during her school years. Stating that she was a good player, Bulut stated that handball that she started with curiosity soon turned into love for her and added:

 

 “I make use of my free time by playing sports instead of killing time at cafes. It makes me feel good. I started doing various sports activities. For instance, I attend bicycle tours with my friends during weekends and we visit the villages and historical sites of our island. I completed scuba diving courses to satisfy my curiosity about the underworld. Another sport that I have dreamed of is Tandem flights...

It makes you feel free and infinite in the sky. I finally realised this flight in Selvili Tepe, Kyrenia; an amazing feeling that demands to be experienced. I recommend everyone to try this flight. Besides, I added surfing among the activities I do. I improved myself with the courses I started last year. I do surfing every opportunity I find. I enjoy sea with surfing. I compete with the waves! I like to live my life to its full potential... I stay away from the stress and negativities of life this way.

 

Information about the sport…

 

Tandem flight means flight with a double paragliding equipment. In Tandem, an experienced pilot manages the parachute. The passenger only watches around and enjoys the ride. The person who will fly as a passenger does not need any training. Before the flight, a 2-3 minutes long informative talk is made with the passenger. After a short run of 5-15 meters, your dream of flying is realised.


With the Tandem paragliding, the passenger can move freely and take photos during the flights. Depending on the wind and general weather conditions, the flight height can change between 260 meters to 625 meters. Everyone who has no heart or blood circulation condition, can run a 5-15 meters long run and is between 35-100 kg can fly. For flying, preferably long pants that won’t prevent a short run and boots or sneakers will suffice.
