Tim was A+ to deal with. I called him for stock availability and he went above and beyond by helping me work through (multiple times) what harness solution would suit me best. Excellent knowledge about the sport, its sub-disciplines and the equipment. Thanks again!

Excellent experience dealing with Tim at Paragliding Shop! He was extremely friendly, responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. Great customer service and a genuinely pleasant buying experience. Highly recommended!
Tim was awesome to deal with and got me an amazing deal on a new Ozone glider. Great communication, support and service. Beautiful wing, took me straight to base. Stoked.
Fast, reliable, friendly, supportive, even spent hours with me on site teaching me to fly. Ongoing support even a year after purchase.
Just bought some gear here. They gave some good advice on the phone and it was dispatched within the hour!
Awesome customer service, I ordered a glider and Tim provided me with consistent updates on the delayed delivery time.
Excellent products and service. They went above and beyond helping me with every step. Bought Flare Moustache and absolutely love flying it!!
Great service - right time right price for me, prompt ordering and delivery. Looking forward to new adventures on my new wing - thanks Tim!
Very happy with the paragliding shop. Great customer service with a nice price point. My Zero 3 is an absolute weapon. Ozone is the bomb.

- Weather & sites - reading the wind and conditions, and judging when it's safe to fly

How it works
You'll start with ground handling, building confidence with the wing until launching becomes second nature. From there you'll progress to your first solo flights, with Anthony or Aden guiding you from launch to landing. Because paragliding depends on the conditions, the course runs over 7-10 days so every session is flown in the right weather.
Coming from interstate?
Stanwell Park is about an hour south of Sydney, so it's easy to fly in from anywhere in Australia and base yourself locally for the course.
Keep flying
