Safety first, every lesson

Teaching people to fly is the best job there is, and safety comes before everything.

Every lesson starts with a thorough review of safety procedures and how to use each piece of equipment. Our certified, experienced instructors guide you through every step, from your first wing inflation to your first landing, and we keep reinforcing safety as your skills grow. You fly when you’re comfortable and confident, and not before.

  • A formal, written training syllabus
  • ASC-certified instructors, including tandem
  • Large, unobstructed training fields
  • Safety equipment and pre-flight checks every session
  • The best selection of gear available
  • Years of reviews from former students

Training and pricing

We don’t do boot-camp style training. Instead, we keep a flexible but structured schedule: a set syllabus, with sessions planned around each student. We try to group students together into training classes, but we know not everyone’s schedule allows that, so we stay flexible for you.

The 2026 season is underway. Tap Get started, tell us a little about yourself, and we’ll set up dates that fit your schedule.

  • At least 16 hours of instruction, from ground school through your first solo flights
  • You learn on your own paramotor and wing, never a rental, and we help you choose the right gear
  • Weather cancellations reschedule at no cost, and you can reschedule yourself with 14 days’ notice
  • Our helmets and radios are provided for every lesson

We’re in it for your success

Our instructors work with you one-on-one, tailoring each session to how you learn. We start with the fundamentals of launching, flying and landing, then add more advanced techniques as your skill and confidence grow.

Airline pilot, dirt-bike rider, or someone stuck behind a desk who has always wanted to fly: paramotoring is the best flying experience there is, and it will change the way you see the world.

Aviation has been in our blood for years. We’ll teach you everything you need for long cross-country flights, easy evening flights with friends, low flying, gentle wingovers and a whole range of launches and landings, and then keep flying with you on our fly-in adventures for years to come.
