In Wanderbird Strategy,
paraglider pilot and renowned hike-and-fly specialist Paul Guschlbauer shares
his extensive knowledge and experience with both beginners and advanced pilots.
The book is divided into two parts: A theoretical section focuses on
mindset, fundamentals, and the philosophical as well as mental aspects of
hike-and-fly—from the deeper philosophy behind this sport to the psychological
strategies required for success.
The practical section guides the reader through the essential
skills and techniques needed to master ascents, take-offs, and
flights. Guschlbauer blends solid expertise with personal anecdotes and
insights, creating a profound guide that is as inspiring as it is
informative. Wanderbird Strategy is more than just a manual; it is an
invitation to expand the boundaries of what is possible and to fully embrace
the freedom of hike-and-fly paragliding.
