Moorea
Just 5km west of the airport is the lagoon at Maharepa, where north-easterlies provide kiting and windsurfing photo opportunities for honeymooners in Moorea Pearl Resort. The lagoon named after the Hotel Beachclub that once stood in the north-west of the island is also a dreamscape in NE wind. White sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and even somewhere to rest in the shape of two small islands just offshore. The larger of the two ('Dream Island’ or 'Motu Fareane’) has a beach café that serves a mean seafood salad. If you’re planning to sail the Beachclub lagoon, don’t forget your diving mask for a post-session snorkel with the resident rays. Haapiti on the west coast is famously the island’s best break, a quick left-hander on a reef channel about 1km offshore. It works regularly too as a south-easterly 'Mara’amu’ often coincides with the required SW swell during May to October’s dry season. Big swells can mean big days, but wave heights are generally a more manageable 2-2.5m. Haapiti also offers flat water on a large lagoon, the rendezvous on fantastic downwinders from Lagune von Atiha. At the foot of lush green foliage-covered cliffs, the turquoise lagoon is a breathtaking setting. And because the south-easterly wind diverges around the southern point, the alternative downwinder extends around half of the island to Temae – another of Moorea’s picture-postcard scenes of turquoise lagoon and pure white sandy beach. Logistically, the spot’s really well placed: the airport’s 2km north, and the ferry to Tahiti 5 minutes south. Also not far from the harbour is Afareaitu, a break that works in N to NE. Even if the wind’s too light for the lagoon, a venturi effect between Moorea and Tahiti often produces planing strengths here. Plus just a little swell offers a nice forgiving left-hander that’s good for over three bottom turns.

Locals claim this is one of the windiest and most beautiful beaches in France. The higher the water rises, the better the waves. If you’re looking for even bigger surf, try behind the tiny 'Île du Bec’. Expect a long walk to the water at low tide. There are marked kite zones to the left in July and August.

The main spots are focussed around Le Morne on the island’s south-west tip. The imposing Mount Brabant isn’t just a majestic backdrop; together with the nearby mountains it accelerates the trades by 5-10 knots, delivering reliable wind. One launch serves five spots covering the whole gamut of conditions. Le Morne Lagoon is a massive flat-water playground. In strong winds it gets choppy and in large swell suffers strong currents – and watch out for the odd coral head! Straight out from the Mistral Centre is the Inner Reef, which is a good training spot on average days but not to be underestimated in big swell. At up to 6m, Manawa is one of Le Morne’s big wave spots, yet it’s still fun to ride. Best in easterlies and at low tide, the catch being that the reef’s 1km further south across a large channel with very strong currents. Plus the wind’s usually a little lighter there, so only go out in stable conditions! Chameaux lies at the western edge of the reef. It’s a dangerous break as the reef is shallow, the waves large and currents strong. It’s particularly good in small swell, but experts only! Follow the reef north to find One Eye, the island’s most famous spot. Very, very fast, hollow, powerful and long. The perfect wave .to watch! The shallow, razor-sharp reef doesn’t forgive mistakes – and the wind’s cross-offshore. Reached via the Grand Pass or the small channel in front of the Berjaya Hotel, it should only be attempted at high tide. The last section belongs to the surfers. There’s a dedicated teaching spot around the headland and away from the crowds at Kite Lagoon, where onshore winds and standing-depth water make it feel even safer. If that gets too busy, La Prairie is an option. Watch out for the odd coral head at both spots and do consider wearing boots. Following the tortuous coastroad east, a massive left-hander breaks in the estuary mouth in southerly swells. Baie du Cap has a very strong current and is regarded as particularly sharky; you definitely want a boat for back-up safety here! When the wind’s too easterly for Le Morne, the lagoon of Riambel, Pomponnette is an option. It only works at high tide though, and watch out for coral and sea urchins! Conditions ease up beyond Blue Bay – the private beach of Hotel Shandrani guarantees exclusivity and offshore on Blue Bay Reef only the honeymooners on Ile aux deux Cocos might watch through their binoculars. Point d'Esny has particularly clear water in the island’s largest lagoon, a freerider’s dream. It’s hard to stay upwind by Ile aux Aigrettes though, as the wind and current both push in the same direction. Belle Mare is another all-rounder – Belle Mare Lagoon is ideal for beginners with its standing-depth area, while a challenging right-hander breaks on Bella Mare Reef outside. On the whole the SE trades blow a little weaker on the east coast as they hit the island more onshore and there are no mountains inland to accelerate them. The trades are offshore on the west coast, so the breaks are best suited to surfing – although occasional southerly winds allow kiting or windsurfing. You’ll need a boat for Ile aux Bénitiers but at least you can throw a couple of sundowners and a barbeque in too. Follow the rough tracks past the saltpans to Les Salines, being so hard to find it’s still a 'secret’ spot – as is the fast, hollow reef-break at Petite Rivière Noire. Launch from the beach near the old lighthouse to reach both, but don’t go out to the break alone: it’s 1km offshore on a shallow reef and only works at high tide! The road north passes world-class surf breaks like Tamarin and leads through the whirling capital Port Louis to Grand Baie, the Mauritian Côte D’Azur, beyond which good conditions return on the northern point. Off Cap Malheureux in front of the landmark red-roofed chapel there’s room for a few reaches between the islets in idyllic surroundings. About a kilometre east Anse la Raie offers two breaks, Yachya and Panic – ask the locals which reef pass has the best waves, on which tide, and for exact directions.

Nordfriesland
Just half an hour from the city, this spot by the Stör estuary is a godsend for the Hamburg scene. There's even a 50m standing-depth area when the tide floods up to the dyke. Otherwise just walk a little way towards the middle of the Elbe – it's no problem keeping away from the ferry channel, particularly in westerly winds. The currents mean it's not ideal for beginners though. Despite the silhouette of the Brokdorf nuclear power station on the horizon, idyllic Elbe prevails: huge ships glide past sheep grazing on green dykes. Apart from what they leave behind, it's not as mucky as other mudflat venues!

Zeeland
The 6.5km long Brouwersdam connects Goeree with Schouwen Duiveland, isolating the North Sea from the inland Grevelingenmeer. Windsurfers and kiters have long gathered here to cut loose, and its popularity remains intact today. Away from the water, it’s all about chatting with kindred spirits over a well-deserved beer or BBQ in the evening. The dyke is drivable and the surrounding dunes and beaches offer an amazing backdrop – it’s just like being on holiday. In fact, this area gets more sun than anywhere else in Holland. Conditions are usually freeride: the stronger and more onshore the wind, the choppier it gets – rarely bigger than a metre though, as a ring of sandbars about 5km offshore absorbs most North Sea swell. Only at high tide in stormy west to north-westerlies do any waves wash over to break feebly on the dyke. There are three launches: the main spot, roughly in the middle of the dam, is also the kite zone (all the way to the southern beach pavilion at 'De Kou', marked by yellow buoys). The southern can occasionally host good waves at high tide. The second spot is at the northern end of the main beach, where you can park right by the water. Windsurfing only though! The third is at the northern end of the dyke: beyond the slipway, a bay suitable for all wind directions nestles amidst high dunes with a sandy shore downwind. Although not officially allowed, kiting is still tolerated here.

Fehmarn
In north to north-easterlies Grüner Brink is Fehmarn's best venue. Standing-depth water provides safety, a jetty creates flat water inside, while the outer sandbank offers nice waves to jump and ride. A beach-break builds in north-westerlies too, although the sandbank waves will be slightly smaller. Equally liked by kiters and windsurfers, so pay attention on good days. The nature reserve (beyond the green posts to the left) and swimming zone are absolute no-go areas.

There's a relaxed launch onto Brest's waters at the large slipway ('la cale') behind the renowned Océanopolis aquarium. A Venturi effect makes it a freeride and freestyle favourite.

Nordfriesland
This town’s big tourist attraction is walking on the mudflats. But what’s it like for sailing? The shallow North Sea is good for up to five hours around high tide – as usual, a little longer with a kiteboard. As an alternative option for showing off, the basin behind the dyke doesn’t dry out at low tide. In good weather there’s an appreciative crowd here – just don’t forget that the banks are concrete!
5793
Kieler Bucht
While the waves aren’t as big or clean as 'Kalifornien', Heidkate is this area’s hotspot. A nice, wide, sandy beach, grass to rig on, and winds from west to north-westerly or north-east to easterly attract the Kiel crew. Kiting is forbidden between the groynes in front of the windsurfing centre, and be careful of other riders and loads of swimmers in summer too.
5726
Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur
These days the official kite launch is at 'Plage du Mérou' in Ayguade. Easterly blows cross-on, a bit weak close inshore – and the umbrella pine trees don’t make the launch any easier!
6347
Essaouira
Sidi Abdellah is a great summertime hide-away as it blows 2 Forces less than Moulay. With cross-onshore wind, the waves even get a bit bigger – but no cleaner. The rocky backdrop doesn’t really endear it to kiters. Below the little fishing village of Bibah a small, partially standing-depth lagoon opens up behind a few rocks, offering freestyle conditions. To the left of the lagoon there’s access to open ocean. Until the early ’90s, Moulay Bouzerktoun was a blank spot on the map. No electricity or water, but loads of wind and perfect waves ridden by just a few adventurers. These days it’s one of the most renowned summer spots for European waveriders, sporting two waves over the reef plate. One breaks at the foot of the cliffs, the other further south at the actual 'beach’, which also serves as base-camp for campervans. The waves are best on a push tide, but don’t be too eager as towards low water there’s precious little depth and waist-deep holes in the reef lurking at the launch. Typical of this region, in high summer the waves generally stay small and are often pretty choppy due to the strong wind. Despite all this, Moulay is often completely packed with around 100 people. It’s better out of season when the swell regularly reaches mast-high. The sandy bay of Essaouira is mostly hosts easy freeride conditions. Near Fort Portugais in the south there’s a modest beach-break, but it rarely exceeds head-high – a great bolt-hole when the rest of the area’s too hardcore. The only drawback being that the prevailing northerly’s very gusty. But the local infrastructure makes up for this with kite and windsurf outfits offering kit and lessons, there are also beach cafés, camel rides. With swell on a flood tide, Taguinza has the area’s cleanest wave. It’s also where the wind starts first, and it blows up to 10 knots stronger than Moulay or Sidi Kaouki in the afternoon. The wind blows cross-off with ideal conditions for riding waves and boosting aerials, even if it is always a bit gusty. Sidi Kaouki also does Morocco proud with its 5km of sandy beach, powerful beach-break, and a reef-break in front of Hotel Marabout. It works best in smaller swell as bigger waves often close-out, especially at low tide – packing a spare mast isn’t a bad idea at high either. Kaouki is also a beautiful place to camp in the dunes. L'Oued is a reef-break in front of the rivermouth on the southern end of the beach. Even though it already works well in small swell, mistakes can be costly as both wind and current sweep straight towards the rocks. Reaching the bay behind the cliffs either demands a 4x4, or a downwinder – either way access to Secret Bay is awkward. That’s why this place keeps its name, even though its location’s well-known. The view from the rocky plateau nicely sums the place up: long sandy beach, turquoise water and sideshore winds. The paved road leads to Iftane in just a few minutes. Apart from a few fishing boats, most of the time you’ll have the place to yourself. The wind blows cross-on and a bit weaker than at Kaouki, but especially kiters should keep their distance from the rocks.
7372
Ijsselmeer
Mirns is the best kite spot on the IJsselmeer's east bank, but the vast standing-depth area is too shallow for windsurfing. It can get a bit tight for launching on land, but there’s plenty of space on the water. Southerly winds are particularly steady here.
5863
Ijsselmeer
This launch is from 'It Soal' campsite, but visitors can park at the entrance and cross to the beach via a small bridge. There's a good atmosphere and perfect conditions for freeride, freestyle and kiting – beginners also enjoy 500m of standing-depth water. Sometimes it's really shallow, especially in the winter when about 30cm of water is drained from the IJsselmeer to allow for the rainfall. Otherwise westerly wind directions are best, but apart from offshore easterly everything is ridable. In high season (June to August) kiters must sign in with the kite school to confirm that they understand the riding rules.
5859
Fehmarn
Except for the odd rock in the water, this flat-water favourite with a large standing-depth area is ideal for learning at. Parking is theoretically possible right by the water, but it’s best to leave vehicles on the grass at the edge of the village. The café and surf-school save walking back to the car for a quick break anyway.
5713
Dublin
These days Sandymount is becoming more popular with kiters. However, the launch areas at Sandymount are really only used around high tide and in easterlies. Otherwise Poolbeg is more flexible. It's a long walk at low water, but a large standing-depth area forms on an ebb tide. Depending on wind direction and strength, conditions vary from flat to chop to medium waves. There are more launch options down at 'Merion Gates', 'Booterstown Station' and the Martello Tower at 'Blackrock'. The further south you go, the more water you'll find at low tide.
5096
Dublin
South of the River Liffey, Poolbeg Power Station is South Dublin's most popular venue. Similar wind directions to 'Dollymount', although only rideable for four hours around high tide. well, you can also ride it at low tide, but will be a long walk then. No good in westerlies or anything WSW or north of west. NE through S are all fine.
5097
Noord Holland
Southerlies wrap awesome waves around the 400m-long harbour wall here – considered top-class, even amongst surfers. It gets biggest in cross-shore south-westerly, and cleanest in southerly (which needs a bit more wind to really deliver). Extremely tide-dependent, the waves can jack right up at high water – so don’t drive home too early, or you’ll probably hit traffic jams around Amsterdam anyway. Ignoring the water-colour, on a good day there’s a whiff of Diamond Head here – and the Hawaiian-style beach-bars add to the aloha spirit. A stark contrast to the backdrop of an industrial harbour and the steel mill looming over the dunes. Strike one against Wijk is a miserably long walk in from the car-park behind the dunes. Strike two is its proximity to Amsterdam, as the light-fingered have sadly discovered this place too. North up the coast are two more launches, with parking in the dunes.
5900
Zeeland
Vrouwenpolder is the North Sea launch from the Veersedam. A popular surf spot in north-west to westerly winds – which is a bit special, as Holland has few launches where westerly blows cross-shore. Too bad the bay is silting up, and needs so much wind due to the shadow cast by the surrounding land. Like across the road, it's “betaald parkeren” (paid parking). Carry your kit across the concrete dyke and keep going – it’s a long way to the water, especially at low tide. But the upside is a shallow pool that's great for practising. Waves are best at high tide.

Cape Town
Paragliding in Cape Town
Cape Town is one of the most spectacular places in the world to paraglide. Lion’s Head and Signal are the sites that we fly from most commonly because of their location and the stunning views of Table Mountain and the Cape Town area. However, there are many other flying sites nearby, including , Sir Lowry’s Pass (just past Somerset West), Franschoek and Hermanus. Tandem paragliding instructional flights are a great way of getting into paragliding or just experiencing the joy of freeflight. Flights last anything from 5-30mins.
No Experience Required
As a tandem paragliding passenger you do not require any previous knowledge of paragliding at all. Your pilot will brief you on everything you need to know shortly before the flight. It is important that you listen to the instructions of the pilot and to have total confidence in his abilities. Take offs are easy (just a few steps usually) and landings are generally soft (most often we land on large grassy fields with no obstacles or dangers.
Fully Certified
All our pilots are fully certified by the South African Hang gliding and Paragliding Assocication (SAHPA).
Highly Experienced
All our pilots have years of experience and have done thousands of tandem paragliding flights. They are all full time, professional tandem flight instructors.
Disabled Friendly
Don’t let anything keep you down. We won’t! Old, or young, two legs or one, paraplegic, prosthetics – we have experience flying with all kinds of people and we are excited to share the experience of paragliding with you.
