The wind gently pushes the sail as my feet stop touching the ground. For a few seconds, everything seems suspended in the air: the distant roar of the ocean, the sun filtering through the clouds, and the vastness of Gran Canaria unfolding beneath my feet. It’s a moment that, even though I’ve lived it thousands of times, still gives me goosebumps.
Flying in a tandem is not just a job for me; it’s a way to share what I’m most passionate about. Each flight is different, each person who dares to take off has their own story and their own way of experiencing it. Some arrive with fear, others with a smile of excitement, but they all land with the feeling of having experienced something unique.
Gran Canaria is the perfect setting for this. From the coastal cliffs to the mountains that seem designed for free flying, the island offers endless landscapes that change with the light of the day and the season of the year. Some days the sky gifts us with impossible sunsets, while others, the clouds surround us and make us feel like we’re floating in another world.
I like to think that each flight is a bridge between the ground and the sky, between routine and adventure. When someone asks me why I do this, I always answer the same: because flying reminds us that we are lighter than we think, that there are other ways to look at life, and that sometimes, all it takes is a jump to discover it.
If you’ve ever been curious about free flying or want to learn more about what I do, I invite you to visit the sky.
