Forward launching your paraglider is the first way you are going to learn in the flying school. The whole secret is in your body movements. Here is a list of the steps you need to take in consideration when you do a forward launch:

Steps
1. Spread your wing neatly on the ground. Wide and open!
2. Check your lines and untangle them if needed.
3. Make sure to position yourself in the middle of your glider. This is going to
help you to achieve a symetrical rising of your wing when you launch.
4. Pay attention at the right locking of your risers in through the carabiners.
5. If strong wind - weak impulse; If weak wing - strong impulse
6. When you start running and you slowly bring the glider over your head, pull
the wing with your body, hips, shoulders. Do not pull with your hands on
the risers.
7. When the paraglider is almost over your head, continue walking fast use
the breaks, stop it over your head, stabilize, check the wing and the lines
and once everything is ok, you can accelerate and take off.
