Reliable, laminar winds from the Atlantic make Portugal one of Europe’s premier soaring hotspots. This allows for hours of soaring above rugged cliffs and dunes. Depending on the wind, the various coastal cliffs and dunes offer opportunities to soar, play, and try out parakites. Thanks to their unique design, parakites are especially fun and safe for playing with the wind, even in strong conditions. Hone your high-wind techniques and ground-handling skills in optimal, laminar air. Spring offers uncrowded beaches and pleasant temperatures—perfect for exploring the region. And if the coastal wind doesn't cooperate, there are plenty of inland alternatives for thermal flying. During the three day Flare Demo event with Leo Fly Nazaré, one of the country’s top parakite pilots, you’ll have the chance to discover the world of parakiting. After a theoretical introduction to handling the gear with instructor Leo Fly Nazaré, you’ll move on to ground handling. Then it’s time to take to the air; depending on your skill level and experience, you can test various models (Scout, Bandit, Moustache, and Line) in all sizes and gain your first practical experience. If you get hooked, Leo is the perfect person to help you acquire your own parakite. We’ll spend the remaining days soaring along the most beautiful dunes and cliffs of Portugal’s west coast. Immerse yourself in a new way of flying and open up new horizons!
