coastal paragliding

Soaring flights is achieved by utilising winds that are directed upwards by a fixed object like Dunes or Ridges along the coast. Ridge soaring is the easiest way for you to rack up long flights in smooth air while building upon your skills as a pilot.

competitions

Competitions are a great opportunity for you to grow as a pilot from the local to the international levels. Paragliding competitions normally have tasks or goals set for the pilot to fly. Paramotor competitions involve scored launches, precision tasks, time tasks and spot landings.

paramotoring

Paramotoring is the most accessible and cheapest motorised aviation available. The entire aircraft will actually fit into the boot of your car allowing you the freedom to take off almost anywhere and explore the world. Fly locally or adventure on cross country (XC) flights, the choice is yours.

inland paragliding

Pilots enjoy the thrill of finding and utilising thermals to achieve great altitudes and distances on cross country (XC) flights. Thermalling in a paraglider on the right day can see you climb in lift between 500 to 2000 feet per minute and fly for hundreds of kilometres.
