WallendAir Paragliding, Courses and Services

Yip… it’s that time of year!
Whoop Whoop BIG SKY COUNTRY here we come 🇿🇦🪂

Early morning Sunday we packed up the gear, the family, the friends — and hit the road.

With Craig at the helm and the rest of us ready for some serious playtime, we arrived at Heidedal Farm Sunday afternoon. Unpacked, settled in and did what any sensible group of pilots does... Relax. Explore. Eat. And talk flying. 😂

Then Monday arrived.
☀️ 31°C
Beeeeautiful day!

After a little parawaiting, we headed out.
But it was VERY unpredictable air -—
A few bumps.
A few collapses.
But everyone landed safely
Except Pete. 😏
In typical Pete style ....while the rest of us had long decided we'd had quite enough excitement.... Pete cruised on at 2,700 m, for 2.5 hours - eventually making it all the way to Citrusdal!!

A proper first day in Big Sky Country - at least for one of us 😁

Day 1 — done. 🪂 Now let's see what today brings...

Wallendair ❤️🪂 Life's better when we fly together.

Weather. Trees. Mountains. Wind.

Normal people call it scenery.
We call it potential. 🪂❤️

😁

There's something magical about taking someone into the sky for the very first time.

That moment when the feet leave the ground.
The grin appears.
The world opens up beneath you.

And suddenly they understand...

This is why we fly. ❤️

So this spring, don't keep your happy place to yourself.

Bring your family.
Bring your friends.
Bring someone you love.

Share the joy of flight.

Because some experiences are simply better together. 🪂❤️

Bring your people. We’ll take care of the rest

Wallendair ❤️🪂 Life's better when we fly together.

You know, you can miss the sky ...
an hour after you've just packed up and left. ❤️🪂

It's a bit like an old friend...
The kind who invites you in for one...
And suddenly you're staying for another. 😏

I suppose there really is no getting around it —
There’s just no such thing as
“one quick flight.” 🪂

Have a beautiful weekend, sky lovers.

🪂 READY FOR A NEW CHALLENGE?

Come learn the Art of Flaring.

Flaring is unlike anything you've experienced in a paraglider.
It may look like a paraglider...
But it's not.
And it doesn't behave like one.

You're flying fast, close to the ground, with very different handling characteristics — and there is little room for error.

That's why proper FLARE training matters.

Whether you're an experienced paraglider, a kiter, or simply ready to try something completely different, we'll help you make the transition safely and confidently.

And no — watching another video online isn't quite the same. 😉

Our SACAA-approved 2–5 day Differences Course focuses on the skills, adaptations and techniques required to transition from paragliding to FLARE.

Already qualified?
We'll focus on the FLARE-specific skills you need.

New to flying?
We'll build the foundation first.

Learn it properly.
Learn it with us. ❤️🪂

Wallendair — Where pilots are made. 🪂❤️

Some views don't just change your perspective.
They change your whole day. ☀️🪂

.. whenever you have a choice...

Take the scenic route. 😉🪂

Blessed Sunday, family. ❤️ See you in the Sky

RIGHT! IT'S TIME! 😄🪂

Bums off the couches.
No excuses.
Season is coming — and those rusty skills need a little fine-tuning.

Paragliding isn't just about what happens in the air.
Some of your MOST IMPORTANT flying skills are built with your feet firmly on the ground.

Ground handling is where good pilots are made.

The Wallendair PLAY lets you work on ground handling, pressure awareness and active-flying reflexes — whenever, wherever you want.
So when you get back in the air, your body already knows what to do.

No perfect weather required.
No full-size wing needed.
Just you, your PLAY and a little practice. 😉

PLAY more. Fly better. ❤️🪂
