Ceara
A moderate break beckons beneath red sandstone cliffs at Canoa Quebrada. The former hippie commune has some tourist infrastructure so is also good as a base for surfaris to the south. Main roads serve Ceara’s largest estuary at Fortim and the mangrove-lined rivermouth of Paracuru whose landscape makes it one of the region’s most beautiful flat water spots. Miles from civilization there’s 2km² of butter, knee-deep at most around low tide. Further up the coast, the non-tidal Lagoa Uruau – one of the region’s largest lagoons – nestles amidst a spectacular dune landscape about 1km inland. Wind turbulence in the shadow of the dunes assures the western end of the lagoon is best. There’s by far less space in the estuary of Barra Nova, suitable for 5-20 kiters depending on tide, although there are never that many out at this charming spot in front of the little village anyway. A little channel straight onto the ocean offers a bit of variety, even if the beach-break on the outside is a bit chaotic. A balsa ferry commutes across the channel, and 10 real secure a buggy or 4WD trip along the beach. On the journey north, the small estuary of Aguas Belas and lagoon of Prainha are tempting for a flat water session. This is the last chance to rejoin the road if you want to check Fortaleza out, but feel free to skip the city beaches as they’re too crowded and the water quality’s appalling. 25km further north it’s a different world again as the wide, palm-lined, sandy beach of Cumbuco extends for over 5km. The gently shelving seabed ensures conditions are always easy-going despite the chop and shorebreak that often develops towards high tide. North of the village the waves build up to head-high, offering a shred-fest downwinder until your legs give way. At the far end of the beach-break, the lagoon of Cauipe is just across the sand. It’s standing-depth and can handle about 30 kites, unfortunately there can be 40+ by noon as both beginners and freestyle pros practise here. Just around the corner, Pecem is one of the region’s few point-breaks – but sadly, since the construction of the enormous cargo pier, it doesn’t work as often as it used to. An alternative to Cauipe is Lagoa Taiba, it’s a bit smaller but much less busy further from Cumbuco. Just be careful of the few rocks lurking just beneath the surface near the far bank! Paracuru is a highlight for wave hunters with a nice strip of reef – which holds a shallow pool at low tide that’s great for practising tricks. The launch is a little way out of town, but an excellent 'barraca’ on the beach offers great food and drink. To get around the estuary (that works just like a lagoon), you’ll need to follow the highway to Lagoinha even with a beach-buggy or 4x4. Over to the right out in front of the village a clean right-hand point breaks beneath steep cliffs, which can create nasty turbulence. To the left is another sandy beach for endless downwinders until the majestic setting sun melts into the red sandstone rocks. The region around Flexeiras is perfect for a few days’ getaway, framed by breathtaking dunes and huge palm groves. From the break at the sandspit of Guajiru the wide beach is driveable – even without a 4x4 – for 25km downwind tours, passing Fleixeiras with its pousadas and restaurants, then Embuaca where a pretty clean waves breaks on another sandspit, all the way to Mundau. The wind blows perfectly cross-shore over the reef on the edge of town, while freestylers find spectacular flat water conditions in the river Delta. Both spots work best from mid to high tide.

Madagascar North
Sakalava Bay is located at the northern tip of the immense island of Madagascar. Although it feels like a paradise at the end of the world, the town of Diego Suarez with approx. 120K inhabitants is just 18 km or 35 minutes away and in about 45 minutes you’ll reach Arrachart airport, from where you get connection flights to the international Airport of Madagascar in the capital Antananarivo.
Sakalava Bay bosts over 2km of sandy beach with two major zones to launch and ride. Inside the bay dominates perfect flat water and the protection from reefs and sand banks makes it a great spot for learning. Wave lovers follow their passion 600m out on the reef. Average waves reach up to 2m with big days possible when there’s a solid swell. When the tide is up Sakalava Bay is also suitable for foiling (min 15cm - max 300cm).
In Sakalava Bay the wind blows everyday from morning to dusk, 8 months in a row. Windsport season runs from late March to late November and it peaks between June and September when the wind is strongest. Wind direction in Sakalava Bay is side/side-on. Wind speed in high season (May - September) spans between 20 - 40 knots so bring a small kite (5 - 7 m) for those strong wind days. In low season there are still regular winds between 15 - 20 knots when you'll need medium to big kites.
Bikini and boardshorts weather! Madagascar and Sakalava bay are fairly hot all year round. Water temperature is usually about 28° Celsius but it can drop down to 23° in July and August so bring a shorty just in case.
Whilst you won’t need specific vaccines for Madagascar. it is still recommended to be updated to conventional vaccines. Although the Diego region is much less exposed to Malaria compared to the east coast of the island, Malaria prophylaxis is highly recommended, if not essential. A treatment of Savarine type usually will do it. Be careful not to get a too heavy dose on your presciription (which is relatively common) as you might suffer from it more than it helps. Assistance repatriation insurance is recommended.

Pays de la Loire
Low-pressure southerlies arrive here less powerfully than at 'La Baule', but the trade-off is bigger waves. Best conditions at high tide, albeit with a shorebreak. Take care in a north-westerly with waves, which drive pretty quickly towards the stone breakwater downwind. Freeride’s on the cards in a summer thermal, but kiting’s banned here too – only between 11am and 7pm; a kite-zone is planned as the whole beach is rammed in summer.

Cyprus Republic
CTO is a large sandy beach in the middle of Larnaca Bay on the south coast of Cyprus. Larnake is the main tourist center in the area, just 20 minutes from the international airport. Good wind probability with 50% and more from April to October with peak in midsummer. Normally, the wind builds up during the day and reaches 4-5 Bft. in the afternoon, sometimes even 6 Bft. Sideonshore from SW, it generates typical wind waves, further out a gentle rolling swell. In winter with wind from the south it can get pretty big. Water temperatures in winter are around 18°C and rise in summer up to 28°C. The air temps in winter peak around 20 ° C, in summer it climbs up to 35°C.
The environment is fully developed with all touristic amenities including a kite and windsurf center. However, on the other hand nothing for peace-seeking romantics. In summer you’ll see predominantly windsurfers, Kiters rather in winter. Durmng high season kiters prefer the comfortable beaches west of Larnaca.

Devon & Cornwall
St Mawes offers 2 launch spots. The easiest to access is from the little shingle beach just below the lower car park for St Mawes Castle. This works well in anything from a Northerly to north westerly, but can be particularly good for flat water in a northerly with outgoing tide. It can produce large swell in a southerly with some spectacular swell riding in the right conditions. Be aware of the current and of the shipping channel at all times. Small parking charge.
In a south westerly, look to launch from Tavern Beach below the Tresanton Hotel. Here the conditions are either flat water or great bump and jump, but watch out for high tide when the beach disappears and there is a back wash off the sea wall. You can drop kit at the beach, then move your car to the car park by the castle.

Melbourne, Victoria
Great wave spot for NW winter sessions when the peninsula reports over 4-8ft swell.
The NW usually is North first so wait till its properly filled in, it's a clean drop face on a North West wind and there's a slab on the left side also
- once it turns west it gets messy.
If its too small then head to Forest Caves or Cape Woolamai.

Região Centro
The shallow 'Lagoa de Óbidos' is Portugal’s biggest lagoon – ideal for kiting and light-wind freeride windsurfing. Long fins can easily catch on the sandbars at low tide though, and there are strong currents at the mouth of the estuary. Almost all wind directions work on the lagoon, even gusty easterlies are reinforced by nearby mountains. Most riders launch near 'Foz do Arelho' – or in summer when kiting is prohibited in the estuary and northern part of the lagoon, try the windsurfing school ('Este') or Praia do Bom Sucesso ('Sul') on the far bank.
6786
Sardegna
The beauty of this place is its rugged, unspoilt setting; if you visit, make sure it stays that way! The break gets waves early, although cross to cross-off south-westerly conditions are rare. Mistral is usually cross-on, and not very clean – it can get big though. The best waves break over a few rocky ridges mid-way along this wide, sandy beach. Parking is usually 800m above the launch, but you might get a bit closer out of season by trying to drive down the boardwalk to the beach. Just don’t get too cocky without four-wheel-drive!
7086
Costa del Azahar & Valencia
Fanned by thermal Garbí winds, this long, sandy beach north of the old town is one of the few stretches of this coast that regularly gets kiteable. Great for freeride or freestyle sessions on azure waters with a view of the fortress. The only problem is the number of sunbathers.
6459
Bretagne
Beyond Pont de l'Iroise are a couple more predominantly north-easterly spots. Locals claim the thermal's so punctual you can set your watch by it! A few tacks upwind from 'Keralliou' it gets especially strong. There's nowhere to launch a kite at 'Kersini' either, as you set sail from the edge of the forest – a bit different. The steep pebble beach isn't so tempting for sunbathing, but the wind's great!
6089
Costa Tropical & Almería
Classy waves break in strong Poniente over a shallow bank at “Dog’s Arse”, as the locals have named this spot. It never get as big as 'Mar Azul', so it’s also popular with intermediates. Light Poniente means flat-water and Levante works here too – also creating waves if it's strong enough.
6539
Bretagne
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.
6086
Algarve
For years this standing-depth lagoon has been a favourite amongst kiters and windsurfers alike, although you often see more kites than sails on the water these days. Kiting's not officially allowed, so be careful not to cause trouble – keep your distance from the boat traffic and breakwaters. Access isn't easy, either via a track behind the golf course or a mile walk from the car-park at 'Praia de Alvor'. Offshore north-north-westerly blows very gusty, but there's no danger of drifting off thanks to the breakwaters. Everyone can enjoy the Ria, even in winter south-westerly storms when half-metre chop offers jumps for first flights while the tumultuous sea can be logo-high. Windsurfers stick to high tide – or expect to do a lot of gybing!
6824
Mykonos, Cyclades
Kalafati is the most reliably windy bay on Mykonos. Beginners can usually sail while the Meltemi lies in through the morning, before it awakes around midday. The further east you go, the stronger the wind as it accelerates through a valley. The flag in the middle of the bay isn’t a gybe mark, but a warning of the bay’s only rock awaiting errant fins. A couple of rubber mats are also laid out in the launch area over some rocky ledges. If freeride in the bay feels a bit tame, there's swell to take on out in the strait by the island of Tragonisi.
7154
Costa Tropical & Almería
If 'Mar Azul' is too gnarly for you, head towards the salt-pans at Guardias Viejas where the waves stay smaller in Poniente. This place is beautifully set amidst an unspoilt area – and thankfully, building plans have been halted by the real estate crisis.
6538
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.
7375
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.
5924
Lago di Garda
This is Garda's most popular kite spot. You'll need to pay an annual fee to launch here – with a money-back guarantee if there's no wind! It’s a small but excellently equipped beach with a paid car-park.
7128
Lago di Garda
This windsurfing hotspot offers a hire centre and all amenities. Southerly Ora blows cross-shore. There's paid parking, a nice sunbathing area and a healthy local scene. Similar advantage as at Molo Paraiso: you don't have to tack upwind from Tobole Bay to find clean wind.
7115
Lago di Garda
Consistent in southerly Ora. Rocky little beach, windsurfing only. Less reliable but interesting in northerly winds as you don't have to tack upwind to leave Torbole Bay and the wind shadow of Monte Brione. Very few parking spaces.

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.
