Soaring Academy : Dune Du Pilat

01. Sand-pile…for adults

There are only few places in the world that combine the perfect balance between a safe environement in which anyone can try, fail, fall, stand up again, explore and learn safely. The wing-control that you build during this time can’t be compared to anywhere else. For us as pilots and coach, most of our growth happened at the Dune Du Pilat. Hours and hours spent upon this huge pile of sand to develop this incomparable “touch” only the best pilots have. Our dream was to offer to all access to the Dune’s magic, from the first groundhandling steps to the first stabi-touch or foot-drags.

02. Paragliding and parakites combined

Our expertise in both flying paragliders and parakites drove us to think that both parakites and paragliders are interesting tools to learn on. The first one is the one you’ll probably fly the most outside of our course, so mastering strong wind handling, take-off and landing techniques is definitely a must. But parakites will offer another dimension of flying and we are delighted to be able to offer you this combination during the course. You must bring your own equipment but we will have a lot of toys for you to try and play with.

03. One or two weeks

Because spring weather can be quite unpredictible, we highly recommend you to take the two weeks course. However you can also choose to stay only one week if you prefer and in both cases we’ll do our best to make your stay as rich as possible.
