🪂 What's living on your wing? 👀
Let's be honest…
By the end of a flying season your glider has probably collected a few stories ...and some barely visible, lesser known life forms, besides the dust, sea salt, and bug splats!!!
But all that "character" isn't doing your wing any favours.
Over time, dirt, grease, salt and other contaminants slowly attack the fabric and protective coating, reducing performance and shortening the life of your glider.
A professional wash helps:
🧼 Remove damaging contaminants
🪂 Protects the fabric and coating
💨 Keeps your wing performing at its best
❤️ Extends the life of one of your biggest investments
So while your wing is in for its Winter Service, why not let us give it the spa day it deserves?
For just R690 extra, we'll professionally wash, service and repack your glider so it's fresh, clean and ready for the season ahead.

There's something about a Sunday morning in the sky...
The air is softer.
The world is quieter.
And for a little while...
Somewhere between launch and landing…
life gets wonderfully simple again. ❤️
Here's wishing you blue skies, gentle lift, and the kind of flight that reminds you exactly why you fell in love with flying.
Happy Sunday, family. ❤️🪂

And that’s a wrap… ❤️🪂
WE ARE HOME 😄
Safely delivered.
Back to the cold.
Back to the rain.
BUT HOME ❤️
To all our family and friends who travelled with us …
Thank you. ❤️
We hope you enjoyed the adventure as much as we did.
It’s one of our favourite things — being able to pack you all in and take you along for the ride. 🌍🪂
To everyone who sent messages, followed along, welcomed us, hosted us, shared coffee, skies and stories along the way…
THANK YOU for making the world feel a little smaller and a lot more like home. ❤️
You keep the sun shining — even in the drizzle. ☔😄
Now… Refreshed.
Inspired.
Slightly over-gelato’d. 🍨😂
Let’s do what we do best.
See you in the sky. ❤️🪂

Last stop. One last deep breath.... ❤️
A few beautiful days in Lovran, Croatia with Gerfried and Wally… and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better ending.
Hot days. ☀️
Cool water. 🌊
And yes… even Pete was eventually coerced in. 😏😂
Sue was firmly in her happy place — front of the boat, slowly cruising the coastline, soaking it all in, with absolutely nowhere urgent to be. ❤️
After weeks of roads, skies, mountains, flying, friends, coffee stops, weather checks, gelato missions and unforgettable moments… this felt exactly right.
Slow.
Lazy.
Beautiful.
A gentle exhale before heading home.
It’s funny how travel works.
You leave to see new places… and somehow come back reminded how blessed you are, how much you love your people — and why home is still your favourite place of all. ❤️
So this is our final holiday update before we swap swimsuits for harnesses and holiday mode for reality. 😏🪂
Love you guys, See you all soon. ❤️

And then… There was the flying. 🪂🇮🇹
Monte Baldo.
Ledro Valley.
Test flying.
More test flying.
And yes… more. 😏
He who can… tests. 😉
Thermals.
Fast wings.
Big mountains.
The kind of flying that reminds you exactly what first love felt like😍 Exhilarating. Humbling. Technical.
Completely addictive.
And after all these years…
My love affair with these skies remains completely intact
Still one of our favourite places in the world.
Thank you Alessio 🪂 Incredible memories. Awesome flying. 🙏

Life in Italy has 2 parts ….🇮🇹
Part 1. Love+ Life + Gelato ❤️
Not every adventure happens in the air.
Sometimes it looked like bicycle rides for fresh bread. 🥖
Coffee missions. ☕
Gelato stops.
Scenic detours. 🚲
Thunderstorms. ☔
Long lazy lunches.
Hammocks, flowers, fields, butterflies ⛱️
Family.
Friends.
And laughter that leaves your cheeks sore.
These are the moments between the flights —
the ones that somehow become the memories.
Beautiful people.
Beautiful places.
And enough gelato to qualify as a balanced diet. 😏🍨
Thank you ❤️
