A Unique Parakite
Training Experience
This first official Parakite course in France was developed within the Waggas School
in connection with the Fédération Française de Vol Libre (FFVL), a recognized label of quality and safety in paragliding education.
The context behind the Parakite training
This course is led by a state-certified instructor, member of the Waggas School team, and actively involved in building the first official Parakite training programs in collaboration with the FFVL.
It responds to the growing demand for structured coaching in this emerging discipline, by establishing a progressive and professional teaching approach.
A natural fit with the Waggas School
The Waggas School, a pioneer in proximity flying and ground handling, was a natural match to carry this project forward on the Dune du Pilat.
I joined the team three years ago, on the Dune du Pilat, the natural cradle of this practice, to help build a teaching style rooted in the school’s DNA: skills and safety
A background built on passion and performance
I’ve been a paragliding pilot for over 14 years, and a certified instructor for 8 years. I’ve explored the sport through all its dimensions — from cross-country to acro, even competing in the World Cup circuit.
I’ve taught in multiple countries, always driven by my love for proximity flying and waggas.
The arrival of the Moustache wing marked a turning point in my journey: it brought a true revolution in the way we play with terrain, wind, and glide.
The development of the Moustache wing by Flare opened a new era of soaring.
It reshaped how we fly near the ground, and revealed a growing need: the need for dedicated, structured, and safe instruction.
In parallel, I joined the Parakite working group within the FFVL, to help lay the foundations of a structured teaching framework — especially for instructors.

A complete vision of learning
Teaching Parakite isn’t just about technique — it’s about sharing a philosophy of flight, guided by a few essential principles: safety, enjoyment, and autonomy.
In 2018, at the age of 22, I had a serious accident that kept me grounded for several years.
That’s when I turned to aviation: I learned to fly planes, earned my private pilot license, and completed the ATPL theory (airline transport pilot training).
These certifications gave me a strong scientific foundation: meteorology, aerodynamics, human factors, and risk management.
Today, I see learning as a conscious and progressive journey, where every risk must be understood and accepted.
This is the playful, rigorous, and human vision I strive to share in every course I teach
