The eye-popping bright colors and high winds make Hawaii a paragliding paradise. Witness this footage shot in 2008 over Koko Crater (in Honolulu near Waikiki) on Oahu. It’s enough to make you up your deductible. Gravity Hawaii has the paragliding goods on this on Oahu. Call them up, strap in and take off tandem!
