Saw these guys today on the way home from shooting some surfing and had always wanted to get a few shots. I know what the hang gliders are but i'm not sure about the guys sitting down but i think they are paragliders. C&C welcome.

Strezleki lookout. Basically a sheer drop down to the water where these guys launch from. Pretty high up maybe 100mtrs or so.
