Javier López Redondo and Roger P. Frey - both qualified tandem pilots as well as instructors - have been offering this paragliding service for tourists for many years on La Palma.

People of all ages can enjoy this experience; you only need to be in normal health. Bring stout closed shoes - hiking boots are best - and a warm jacket.

Paragliding on La Palma is often difficult. Even when you find opposite information in the web. If you are flying on la Palma without school or Guide, you should be absolutely sure in the interpretation of the weather situation. In addition, you should not only be an experienced pilot. Manouvers as spiral, B-Stall and Big-Ears in order to loose altititude should be well known by you. Althought the landing spot in Puerto Naos is good, precise landing skills are important too.

I am recommending all unexperienced pilots to visit la Palma together with a paragliding school. There are many offering holidays on the island.

Most of the time we are flying in lee on this island. The weather, specially the winds may change rapidly. It needs experience to discover those developments in the air. The winds are often strong. Backwards starting technique is helping often. if you are experienced enough and like to visit the island without school and guide, listen to the locals. In regard to weather specially to Mike. He has a very long experience and knows the weather as nobody else here.

Experienced Pilots which need a Flight-Guide can book me.

You can download the info brochure from the Palmaclub. The most important informations are on a one page folder to print out.
