We are growing!
So ever since we released a little over 2 months ago a lot has happened. We have been fortunate enough to help a multitude of people achieve their first flights. Our team has grown, we’ve started collaborating with more brands and much more. This article is meant as a bit of an update.
New instructors!
As our student count grows so does our instructor pool. We’re proud to announce Chris & Rosie are joining us!


They’re both experienced in soaring, skydiving & speedflying. They have been teaching at the beach for a while and we’re super excited for our new collaboration.
Read more about them on the about us page.
New system
We’re updating our online environment! After having used our system for about 2 months successfully we want to release version 2.
Besides quality of life and bug fixes this version also makes it so we can offer even more personal tailored packages.
For people with existing packages nothing changes your current lessons & group lessons will still be valid.
What is new
While before we only had one currency called “tokens” we have now moved to a system that has two currencies.
“Intense lessons” for the intense lessons. These lessons are with a maximum of 1-2 instructor-student ratio and are between 2.5 & 3.5hrs.
“Tokens” they are now only used for Flight Club. Flight Club something new we’re introducing that replaces our group lessons.
Flight Club is a bit more flexible in pricing. You book your slot by using one token and then get invoiced afterwards depending on if you rented gear and how many people were in the session. More information here: Flight Club.
For people with existing packages: Your group lessons are still valid but are now called Flight Club Sessions. Since you already paid we will automatically set the invoice to completed after the session.
Dealership Sky Paragliders & Kortel Design
We are also super proud to announce we are now working with Sky Paragliders & Kortel Design.
We sell all products from both brands but for the time being only put the items we use ourselves in the shop.
We have also written a review of each article in the shop so make sure you go check them out!
The future
Over the past 2 months we’ve been lucky enough to help a lot of amazing humans through our beginner & advanced lessons to reach their goals here in the Netherlands.
We’re going to continue growing and improving this even more with the help of our new instructors Chris & Rosie.
Besides that we also have a couple cool projects & courses that we will announce more about later. For now here are some teasers 🙂
Empowering Women
Both Chloé and Rosie know how challenging it can be to be a woman in this sport. That’s why they’ve planned a series of initiatives to support both women looking to get started and those already involved.
- Learn from a women – Women only lessons
- Women-only meetups – Fly with other women
- Women scholarship – Make it easier for women get into the sport
More information will follow later.
Winter academy
The idea of the Winter Academy is that while the weather in Europe is cold and rainy we escape to a warmer location to continue our training.
We fly as much as possible and it’s an excellent course to discover other disciplines.
Is the wind strong? ➜ We go soaring with parakites.
Is it light wind & thermic? ➜ We go fly our normal paragliders.
Is the air dead? ➜ We go fly our parakites down as an introduction to speedflying.
We will organize these courses in the following locations:
- South Africa end of October 2026.
- Morocco in March 2027.
We will announce the official courses soon.
License/IPPI 4 Course
Already soaring and want to get your license/IPPI 4 so you can also fly in other countries besides the Netherlands? Come to South Africa with us where in 2 weeks we will help you get a South African license which is equivalent to IPPI4.
When?
- South Africa end of October 2026.
Hike & Fly, XC & Vol Biv
We’re also planning some more adventure/mountain flying courses. We will announce this later this year. They will all be in 2027.
Soaring Camps – Chasing the weather
An idea we’ve had for a while now. We take a week and decide shortly beforehand where we’ll go.
This course is ideal for people wanting to improve their soaring. Chase the wind for a week and fly/learn as much as possible.
Some of the possible countries/locations are:
- Denmark
- France
- The Netherlands
This will be in 2027. We will announce it later this year.
