French term or phrase: rejoindre « le déco »
In an information pack about an aerial sports area. Talking about paragliding and packages available. Context: "Un baptême de l’air en parapente avant la pause déjeuner ? C’est possible à Talloires et à Montmin ! Il suffit de rejoindre une des écoles de parapente de Talloires, Doussard ou Montmin. Des vols en tandem sont proposés pour des sensations et panoramas exceptionnels sur le massif des Aravis (au-dessus du Grand Bornand) et autour du Lac d’Annecy. Il ne reste plus qu’à **rejoindre « le déco »**, gonfler la voile, décoller les pieds du sol et ouvrir grand les yeux !". What is the sense of "rejoindre le déco" here, please? Thanks in advance for any help.

Explanation:
Just a suggestion! Seems to fit the chain of events. Déco sounds like shorthand for decoller. HTH.

agree  Gilla Evans: I think you need to hyphenate take-off as it is prenominal and it would make the meaning clearer.
