“Soar like a seagull and fly like an eagle”

Soar like a seagull

In and around Christchurch you can gain the skills you need to be able to soar your paraglider in the sea breeze. Ultimately you will be able to launch and land your paraglider from the same spot!

Fly like an Eagle

Once you have your basic paragliding skills in place its time to learn some advanced skills. These include thermalling (circling) upwards in the sky and learning the basics of cross country paraglider flying. In order for this stage of training to take place we will be on the move to some of the more advanced sites close to Christchurch.

    We had our wedding at the paragliding spot and strait after went to jump off the cliff with Greg and his team. Greg’s 30+ years of experience made us feel safe and comfortable all the way. Thank you so much for the flights with you. Amazing.

    I can't recommend Grey (at Cloudbase Paragliding NZ) highly enough! Not only is he a friendly, approachable, skilled pilot with years of knowledge that he shares clearly and openly; he is exceptionally kind. He really will go above and beyond to help you out and make sure you have all the support you need for your debut into the world of free flight. I'd like to thank him very much for all his help guiding me through my intro day, PG1, PG2, paragliding theory, gear selections and many other things besides. It's been a pleasure to fly with you (and continue to do so!), and I'd like to think I have made a friend as well as an instructor. He also has the assistance of many other excellent pilots helping you approach your first landings, begin ground handling and explore any questions you might have. (I'd especially like to thank Ryan for his kind and patient manner while guiding me through the earliest stages, and his help with cobra launch). I'm sure many other licensed pilots out on the hill echo my sentiments, and I hope to be back with you to pick up some more advanced skills... once I've practised and perfected my current set of course :) See you out there!

    Completed PG1 and PG2 with Grey in a group of 4 friends. Grey was an excellent instructor, always calm and extremely professional. Grey clearly has a true passion for paragliding and teaching. Instructors Ryan and Brian were also excellent, knowledge extremely friendly and safety conscious. Watching other operators also teaching the same course it was chalk and cheese, we were so pleased to be with Grey

    If you want to learn to fly in Christchurch, this is the place to do it! Fantastic training from Grey and the whole team, learning to fly here has been a real pleasure. Well equipped with gear and vehicles - you'll never have to walk up the hill! The instructors are extremely experienced, so after completing PG2 I'm confident and comfortable flying. They're very flexible - Grey even worked on New Year's Day to make the most of a good weather opportunity.

    Can not recommend enough!! I did my Pg1 and Pg2 with the team here. It was fantastic every step of the way, from starting off, to tips about gear and much more. The flying was fantastic and learned a lot from the instructors. Amazing sites around Christchurch and awesome team. Cheers guys was bloody brilliant.
