Enjoy free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start time. Paramotoring is highly dependent on weather conditions, particularly wind speed. For safety reasons, we do not fly with winds exceeding 8 mph.

Dress Code & Safety Tips
Secure Long Hair: As the pilot sits directly behind the passenger, loose hair can obstruct visibility and interfere with controls due to wind turbulence. Please tie it back in a ponytail or secure it appropriately.
Avoid Loose Accessories: Scarves, dangling jewelry, or anything that can flap in the wind pose a risk of entanglement. Leave them behind or secure them tightly.
Wear Sunglasses: Since most flights take place around sunrise or sunset when the sun is low in the sky, wearing high-quality sunglasses improves visibility, enhances your enjoyment of the flight, and helps protect your eyes from wind exposure.
Gloves for Grip & Warmth: Lightweight gloves help reduce wind chill and ensure a comfortable, secure grip when boarding or adjusting harnesses.
Appropriate Clothing: We strongly recommend wearing long pants for protection.
Footwear: Running or hiking shoes provide the best stability for boarding and exiting the trike.
Secure Personal Items: Phones, cameras, or GoPros must be mounted or securely tethered. Loose items can fall and become unrecoverable during flight.
Weather Consideration: In-flight temperatures can drop by 10°F, and the wind chill can make conditions feel cooler. Dress accordingly for comfort.
