Paragliding Zen and the Art of Soaring.

Flyaboveall.com Has a great page which contains description and reviews of paragliding equipment.

Unlike parachuting where you fall from a plane for several thousand feet before deploying a chute, paraglider canopies are fully inflated before your feet leave the ground. The harness doubles as a “skysailing” chair as you are gently whisked through the air on a journey of serenity and tranquility.
Paragliding is a great way to explore mountains.
Beginner Course [Level I]
The first few hours of the course are spent learning how to handle the canopy, running with the paraglider and managing to keep it above your head at all times—not as easy as it sounds.
Novice Course [Level II]
Reverse inflation, cross-wind launches, no-wind inflations and launches, and preparation for flying. Get ready for future two to three hour high flights of 1000 to 1500 metres

Free Hot Wax in Toronto.

Sporting Life offers a great promotion – Free Hot Wax for board and skis. I have used their service and liked it a lot. They do it in within the same day. I highly recommend getting hot wax for your snowboard or skis. It will prolong the lifetime of your equipment and give you a better performance.
