Some feedback from Flybubble students, tandem passengers, pilots and customers... LOTS MORE still to be added!
Andrew Parsons - High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire
Dear Flybubble,
Having completed my EP and CP course with Flybubble over the last one and half years, I felt some form of feedback ought to be forthcoming.
Setting my goals on achieving a Club Pilot rating was without a doubt a daunting and exhilarating process. I can still vividly remember my first day with Nancy, trying to fathom out the spaghetti like strings and her patience and understanding were unbelievable.
The gradual drip feed of knowldege, tips and advice from Carlo, Greg and Nancy were so well timed that their relevance has shaved off years of further learning.
The actual flying demonstrations and tuition by Carlo were sublime and guidance on the purchase of equipment was fantastic.
I would like to say a very big thank you to the Flybubble team for providing such a complete and professional package. It really is no wonder that you attract students from all over England.
Cheers and thanks for everything. Andrew

The best trip I have ever had, beyond anything I had hoped for.
Everything was great: well organised, fantastic flying, challenging.
I really experienced having FUN whilst flying for the first time properly.
The course was brilliant! (Very, very good).
For me, Carlo is the best instructor. I like and feel confident with the way he teaches.
An unbelievably fantastic experience!
THANK you both SO MUCH for your brilliant guidance and instruction!
Gerry Bradnam - Bromley, Kent
Carlo,
Just a short note to thank you for all your efforts in getting me airborne.
The training provided by the team at Flybubble was well organised, professional and great fun. Your advice on equipment has also proved invaluable and the continued help and encouragement you still give me on the hillside is much appreciated.
I asked for the course to be as quick as possible and you made every effort to oblige. I always felt that the training was conducted at a good but safe pace that suited me and built my confidence.
I have already recommended Flybubble to a number of friends and would be happy to be used as a reference for anyone considering them.
The February trip to Greece was one of the best activity holidays I have been on and I have been on quite a number. I certainly hope to join you on any future trips.
Regards Gerry

Flying with 'Urubus' in Brazilian Skies
Article by Crispin Rose-Innes published in Skywings June 2003
The idea for a paragliding trip to South America was conceived by Grita and myself whilst paragliding in Piedrahita a year ago in March 2002. During our short week in Piedrahita, it slowly dawned on us both that the only sure way in which to increase our airtime and to have fun flying, was to seriously consider an extended trip abroad in a place where a good climate, warm temperatures and a safe environment would guarantee superb flying...
Oliver Polden letter to Skywings magazine
Big thanks
Last weekend I completed my Club Pilot rating.
I would like to thank Flybubble Paragliding for their second-to-none training. In particular I would like to thank Carlo [Borsattino]. His knowledge and skill is astounding and he loves nothing more than to pass it on to nurture competent, safe pilots.
I would also like to thank Nancy for her extra-strong cups of coffee and great feedback, Greg for teaching us to ground handle like a supernatural, and Tracy for taking amazing photos which can be seen on the Flybubble site: www.flybubble.co.uk.
I'm confident I have graduated with an excellent start in the sport and I am now looking forward to a trip to Greece in April, with Flybubble of course!
Thank you Carlo, Nancy, Greg and Tracy and all the other students I had the pleasure of training with.

Byron Campbell - London
Hi Carlo,
Thanks for a good weekend, good fun and very enjoyable.
I think you are fantastic trainers and very easy to get along with.
Your whole system of bookings, equipment and paperwork seems very well set up and very efficient. Everything was laid out and explained very clearly. I am used to the way they do things in Spain which is pretty 'casual' to say the least!!
I feel that you helped me get the most out of the weekend and it was well worth my time. Although I have been flying for about 18 months I still picked up really useful tips and ideas from you. Thanks.
Thanks again for all your help; I look forward to seeing you on the weekend in March.
Cheers, Byron :-)

I had a fantastic time over the weekend and still can't believe the wonderful feeling that flying can give you, and I am just a nervous beginner!
Thank you both for spending the time to teach me, I really do appreciate it.

Once again thanks for all you have done for me.
