We enjoyed great weather for Tandem Flights over the last week.
What a great way to start 2026 🪂

A few moments from our 22nd to 25th of October SIV Clinic at Lake Burrendong.
We were once again blessed with good weather and a great group of pilots eager to gain skills and confidence.
Thank you Brad, Owain, Kris, Sam, Tyrone, Rhys, Oliver, Luke and Daniel for attending the course and congratulations on your great progression.

Thanks heaps to our team members Phil Mansell and Michael Hately for the great towing.

Our 12th to 15th of October SIV Course was blessed with great weather and a diverse group of 10 pilots eager to learn new skills and increase their confidence and wing control.
All pilots performed several accelarated asymmetric and full frontal collapses, deep spirals, an average of 10 full stalls each, tails slides, spins and a few Sats.
Everyone achieved a great progression ✅️ Congratulations to all participants.
Thank you Phil Mansell and Lucas Toledo for the great towing.

The elusive 500km+ Cross Country flight. 🙏

Thursday the 2nd of October 2025 was my last flying day on a 12 Day Cross Country trip to the brazilian outback, the Sertao Nordestino.
I have had great flights on this trip including flights with incredible average speeds that unfortunately ended up short.
On the trip's last day I was fortunate enough to achieve my goal of flying over 500km ✅️
This season in the Sertao has taught me that a 600km flight in 🇧🇷 is possible.

Thank you , , .coutinho.souza, and all this year's crew for the tow launches, XC support, amazing retrieves and the good vibes 😀

Hope to see you all soon!

Beautiful views during a 10 hour flight in Brazil on the 21st of September 2025. It was day 1 of the trip and the goal was to fly until sunset.

19th FAI Paragliding World Championships. Castelo - Espirito Santo - Brasil.

It was an honour to be part of the Australian National Paragliding Team and to represent Australia alongside Gareth Carter. 🇦🇺
We flew 8 Tasks in very challenging weather conditions with a mix of strong, stable and windy conditions.
It was a pleasure to fly and compete with 130 of the best pilots in the world. It was a week of many learnings and I'm happy to have finished 30th Overall.
