I am fortunate to share with you one of my greatest passions: paragliding. With over 15 years of flying in the Canary Islands, I have had the opportunity to discover and explore every corner of Gran Canaria and the other islands, unique places for this sport. During this time, I have guided hundreds of people through spectacular skies, from beginners to experienced pilots, always with the same excitement of the first flight.
More than 15 Years of Flying Experience in Gran Canaria
My passion for flying began over two decades ago when I discovered paragliding. Since then, I have had the privilege of flying in various conditions and locations across Gran Canaria, which has allowed me to gain a deep understanding of its winds, microclimates, and landscapes. This experience enables me to provide a safe, personalized, and thrilling guide for all those who venture to fly with me.
Gran Canaria is a privileged place to fly, with varied terrain ranging from cliffs to mountains and valleys, making each flight a new adventure. Additionally, its unique climate makes flying possible almost all year round. But what truly sets Gran Canaria apart is its specialty during the winter months.
Gran Canaria: The Perfect Destination Year-Round
While many areas of Europe are affected by winter conditions and bad weather, Gran Canaria is one of the few places on the continent where you can fly throughout the winter. Thanks to its mild and stable climate, the island offers exceptional flying conditions during this season. The constant winds and pleasant temperature allow pilots to enjoy long and safe flights even when paragliding is on hold elsewhere in Europe.
This makes Gran Canaria an ideal destination for paragliding enthusiasts who want to escape the cold and keep flying in perfect conditions. During the colder months, many European pilots move to the island, and I am fortunate to guide them, sharing with them the beauty of these skies.
Fly at the Best Take-Off Sites in the Canary Islands
Gran Canaria offers a wide variety of take-off zones, though not all are used regularly. Its circular geography and unique weather conditions make flying conditions exceptional and, in some cases, challenging. In free flying, understanding the island and its atmospheric dynamics in depth is essential to ensure safety. It’s not just about knowing the best take-off spots, but also knowing when the conditions are optimal and, most importantly, when it’s necessary to stop. This is where my experience and knowledge become truly valuable.
I Have Guided Some of the Best Pilots in the World
Over the years, I have had the honor of guiding some of the best paragliding pilots in the world. My experience and knowledge of the Canary winds have allowed me to guide renowned pilots who have chosen Gran Canaria as their place to fly and train. I’ve been fortunate to work with entire paragliding schools and clubs that have trusted me to guide them during their sessions on the island. For me, this is a testament to the trust and respect placed in my work, and it’s something I deeply appreciate.
Guiding experienced pilots is an enriching experience that allows me to continue learning, perfecting my skills, and adapting each flight to the needs and levels of each person, whether a beginner or an expert.
My Approach: Safety and Fun in the Air
As a paragliding guide, my mission is always to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Safety is a priority, and I always make sure that each person is fully prepared before flying, offering all the necessary information about the equipment and flight conditions. For me, there is no greater satisfaction than seeing a client enjoy their first flight or challenge themselves while navigating the skies.
My approach is not just about flying, but about enjoying the process and the beauty around us in the air. The sense of freedom that is experienced while flying is something that always surprises me, no matter how many years I’ve been doing it, and I love sharing that sensation with everyone who joins me in the air.
