Play and Fly!3rd Daet International Aerosports Show

It's the time of the year again when pilots from different parts of the Philippines and the world come to Daet to spread their wings to play and fly to the sky! 

Last year, I was able to witness and even personally experienced how it is to spread my wings and fly with the help of Karl, a foreigner pilot who's a regular of Mikes Kites in Bagasbas beach.  If I remember it correctly, he travelled regularly to Daet to meet other aerosports enthusiasts as well as train those who are into paramotoring. If you want to watch the full video, read my previous post.

THINGS YOU CAN DO DURING THE DAET AEROSPORTS

For one, you can watch the experts do their stunts and be amazed how they do it! Even from a far you'll feel the excitement and thrill but trust me when I say that you'll be overjoyed when you see the pilot up with the sky as they fly over you.

Paramotor Show in Daet, Camarines Norte

Up up and away!!!! The pilot told me that having a #Paramotor is the cheapest way to flying from one place to another... For about 10 liters of gas, you can fly for about 2 hours. It will also give you the most scenic view. [ 2015 UPDATE : Enjoy the 3rd Daet International Aerosports Show from April 24-26 2015 and get the chance to try paragliding too! ] Choose Philippines #travel #adventure #choosephilippines #solesearchingsoul The Philippines

Practice spreading your wings and learn how to control it. Last year, I was fortunate that this Japanese pilot taught me how to do it. 
Was it easy? No. 
Was it fun? Definitely yes! 

The challenge of keeping the "wings" on air was a bit tricky especially for first timer like me but Mr.Masaya made it a bit easy for me. Yes, he's name is MASAYA so everyone who took his Paragliding 101 lesson became really happy!  

Still afraid to fly? Well, why don't you take a selfie with the invited celebrities and say hello to Mayor Tito Sarion too! Mayor Sarion will definitely find a way to encourage you to try paragliding. His sense of humor and friendly approach will make you say yes to aerosports!   

MARC LOGAN of ABS-CBN is in Daet now. With his big smile and thumbs up in this picture with Mayor Sarion, for sure he's having fun and will have more fun flying this weekend! He also interviewed Mike Gambrill who owns the Mike's Kites and the only aerosports operator in Daet. 

Now, don't be afraid to try paragliding! These friendly and well experienced pilots will be happy to assist you. Just listen to all their instructions and you'll be ready for take-off... with your pilot of course! Unless you also have a paragliding license then you can fly on your own. In my case, I'm really thankful that I got to do tandem ride last year.  

This amazing group of pilots made my first paragliding experience very memorable!

I really enjoyed paragliding so I flew for the second time! Yes, I couldn't get enough of it. The excitement, the adrenaline rush, the gushing air and the scenic view washed away my afternoon blues! 

Until now, the memories of this flying experience in Daet makes me blissful as if I'm walking in cloud nine. 

Tandem rides with paramotoring is offered by Mike's Kites. Karl, who is from Austria, is their resident paragliding instructor. Rest assured that you'll have unforgettable memories in Daet as he fly you over Bagasbas Beach.

How I was I'm in Daet right now! I'll miss this year's Aerosports show due to prior commitments in Metro Manila.

The season for Aerosports is March through May so this is the perfect time for you to try Paragliding or Paramotoring in Daet! 

If I'm not mistaken, they are offering a special rate this weekend so don't miss it. For other activities offered my Mike's Kites and rates, you can check ithere or contact them. Enjoy flying!
