I would like to propose the inclusion of skydiving and paragliding as recognized sports on the Strava platform. Presently, there's a notable absence of support for sky-related sports on Strava. By integrating skydiving and paragliding, Strava has the opportunity to attract new user base and broaden its range of activities. Even basic statistics such as heart rate and GPS coordinates would suffice initially.
I don't know what are we waiting for. Eveeryone has paraglide modality at his watch or app, and in strava I need to put windsurf or they cancel my activities.
Just allow paraglide and then add the 3D MAP together.
Anyone from Strava reading this and not familiar with paragliding should note that there are at least two separate paragliding activities being proposed in this thread. The first is ‘hike and fly’ which is analogous to something like backcountry skiing or skimo racing in that there are multiple activities involved (hiking / running and flying) which is done recreationally and in a race format—there is to my knowledge no app or website that comes close to offering a Strava-like product for this currently. The second is general flight logging, which is probably more in line with what a non paraglider expects paragliding to be—I guess this would be similar to what is offered by something like xcontest.org but better presented and with a social component etc.
