For me, paragliding is the ultimate combination of passion and challenge. From a very young age, I have been incredibly driven when it comes to flying. My parents started flying even before I was born, and every summer we would head into the mountains. When I got my first small kite as a young kid, there was no stopping me. I discovered what sore muscles were at a young age, after spending a whole day running up and down a small hill with that kite.
Today, I am just as passionate as I was back then. Throughout the year, I love soaring at the dunes because of its beautiful simplicity. Just playing around, enjoying the air and nature, and above all: not having to think about anything!
In the summer, I like to head for the mountains. XC (Cross-Country) flying in France is something I truly love, and I find there is still so much challenge in this area. The mountains are much more complex than the dunes. Through my participation in the Eigertour Academy, I’ve made a great leap in my cross-country flying and have discovered some beautiful new regions along the way. Every year, I look forward to exploring the French Alps even further from the sky.
After completing my Psychology degree at university, Doseah and I took over Parakiting from Max, turning my greatest passion into my career. With this background, I now love helping others become better pilots—not just technically, but mentally as well.
