I'm also interested in paragliding. A couple of weeks ago I walking in Beatenberg (not sure of the spelling) and observed a constant stream of paragliders decending into the valley below. When I returned to the village to catch the bus back to Interlaken West, I noticed a couple of people carriers, with "Tandem Paragliding" advertised on the sides. I'm thinking of giving this a go ... perhaps we could organise a group thing through this forum?
