After 35 years of teaching paragliding, we have decided not to renew our business insurance and close our paragliding school.
We didn’t come to this decision lightly, but we know is the right time for us.
Paragliding and teaching paragliding all these years has been our passion and watching our students grow as pilots, reaching new levels has been a pleasure and reward for us both!
In 1988, I started manufacturing paragliders and paragliding harnesses in Australia, and my unbreakable passion for flying was born…which is just as strong to this day.
Now, we are looking forward to having the extra time to fly, explore and create adventures.
Our paragliding shop will remain open and active with new and second-hand equipment for sale as usual. The Paragliding Repair Centre will keep growing and supporting more pilots than ever!
We thank you all for your support over the years and look forward to seeing you in the sky with us. Sylvie and Jiri
Here a few pictures of how our school started :

WA Paragliding Academy, based here in Albany, provides great sporting entertainment at one of the world’s premier paragliding locations. Paraglider pilots come from all over the globe to fly over our magnificent coastline.
While in the safe end of your Instructor, Jiri, you will learn how Paragliding work and understand the safety of the sport.
You will get a great birds’ eye view of Albany and its surroundings, flying over the beautiful white sandy beaches, maybe even catching a glimpse of the dolphins in the ocean. Fly among the birds, and look down over the nature reserves to see the kangaroos and all the other wildlife that this fantastic area has to offer – as you’ve never seen it before!
WA Paragliding Academy offers a 30 minute tandem instructional flight with an experienced professional, for $250
We are depending on the weather and cannot be 100 % the flight will happen, SAFETY FIRST. But we will always do our best to provide the most amazing experience.
The Photon brings a new era for the Sport class (EN C). All of Ozone’s know-how in 2-liner designs has been applied to this wing to make it the missing link between conventional 3-liners and competition models.
True Performance was our focus during the extensive development phase to produce practical usability and comfort throughout the speed range in real XC conditions.
The handling, stability, and ease of use are as important to us as the performance numbers, which are close to those of the Zeno 2. Nonetheless, collapse behaviour and passive safety are solidly within the EN C category. Welcome to the future.
The Photon is now available, Ring Jiri on 0417 776 550 for the cost.
