Plus, you'll get to do so many touch and goes you'll lose count - literally.

It is the foundational skill of flying paramotors, and if your kiting skills are weak, the rest of the \"structure\" is weak as well. Kiting is insanely \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003evaluable because it teaches you the \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eins and outs of how the glider works. How it stalls, how it collapses, how to recover from both, how to prevent both, etc. Learning the \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eins and outs of kiting is often overlooked, as people commonly see it as simply a \"means to an end.\" However, that is so far from the truth. You want flying to be easy? You want flying to be fun? And most importantly, you want it to be safe? It all starts with being good at kiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0466\/0373\/1107\/files\/Thumbnails_-_2026-08-29T195537.575.png?v=1788054942\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParamotoring:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe will be doing some flying during this clinic, which will bring lots of fun training opportunities!

Think of this location and the ultimate place to tune up your skills, because it is. Spend endless amount of hours a day kiting, flying, kiting more, and of course flying even more. Weather permitting, beach flying can be an all day experience and the training goes hand in hand. In our experience there is no better place for pure raw practice.

These small dunes if anything else can be a place for students to run and jump off, getting a short and fun flight. They are nothing crazy, but they give that feeling of flying and challenge the student's ability to keep the glider under control. If you're struggling with control, the small but mighty dune will most certainly show you that.
