Students love working with Britton

You can not go wrong with Britton he is super safe, super smart, and a freaking blast to learn and train with!

I trained with Britton Shaw a year and a half ago. I could not be more happy with my training. I learned PG first and then moved to PPG. His number one priority is your safety. His approach to training is excellent. He moves you along as fast as you are capable of learning but never puts anyone at risk. Not only is he a first rate instructor but an incredible pilot himself. I would highly recommend Britton and River Valley Paragliding to anyone looking to get in the sport. One of the great things about his teaching is "once a student, always a student". Even though I am out flying on my own, he is always available to answer questions and provide feedback. I trust Britton so much that I sent my son there to train!

Just returned from another EPIC weekend of training with Britton. I can't imagine a more patient, passionate, fun, and knowledgable instructor. Safety is Britton's number one priority; you will not leave the ground until both you and he are certain that you have the skills and confidence to handle any situation/variable that may come up between launch to landing. Already looking forward to next weekend! — Audra G.

My husband and I started training with Britton Shaw with River Valley Paragliding to learn PG and PPG last August. Safety is his number 1 priority. He is not going to put anyone in an unsafe position. He has gone above and beyond to make sure we are trained properly and safe at all times. There were several new pilots and we had a great experience because we were prepared. We would recommend River Valley Paragliding if you are looking at getting into the sport.”
