  If I could give Eagle Paragliding a 0, I would. We traveled from over a 1000 miles away to spend two weeks with Eagle getting our P-2 certification. We exchanged multiple emails and phone calls with Rob Sporrer over a 6 month period to ensure that all logistics were set up and that instructors would be ready and available.
  
  Unfortunately for us, we invested over $7000 in gear (purchased from Eagle) only to arrive to a completely unprepared school with mediocre instruction. Kevin is a great instructor, but even after requesting him by name, we were not able to get Rob to schedule him for us. Our experience was a disorganized, unstructured course with instruction that left much to be desired. We both got hurt, and after 5 days on the practice hill, we had less than 12 flights each due somewhat to weather (winds), but mostly to wait times that resulted from Eagle not having enough staff. We had to pull out of the course for safety reasons.
  
  Despite the good reviews and initial GREAT impression we had, the attitude of ownership at this school is going to lead to an accident. I have 10 years experience as an AF pilot, 2000 hours of flight time in high performance jets, and nearly 1000 hours as an AF pilot training instructor. This school is complacent, dismissive of objective feedback, and is setting themselves (and their students/clients) up for disaster.
  
  We were met with rude, condescending comments from Rob after leaving the school. Terrible experience.
