Pilot Business Support is the focus of Laura, to quote her "I am a paraglider pilot and instructor, as well as an ex-hang glider and ex-PPG pilot. My dream is to make it easy for pilots to find other pilots who can supply whatever it is that is required. This page is the small start of something that will hopefully be fruitful for all." These are the words of Laura, one of the most remarkable ladies in South African Paragliding... |

Had the board, had the wax, and the attitude, but never mastered it at
all! |  Rodger at Sedge | | Do see Coffee Shack for Lessons with Dave Malherbe! |  | Surfing is high on the agenda here - owner Dave was a Pro-Am World Championship title holder and still surfs competitively.
Surf lessons are given by Dave and other qualified instructors and are among the most inexpensive in the world |  Point Break with Dave at Coffee Shack |

| | | Tandems I went on my first tandem in the Garden Route nearly 8 yrs ago, I then resigned my job of 14yrs, giving 24hr notice!!! Thats when I truly started conceiving an idea of another life out there:-) In the last 7years I have traveled with my glider, looking for a new place to fly. It is only with much thanks to my fellow pilots, that have always looked out for me, explaining extensively how each site works. Hereby I have met the most incredible tandem pilots. The guys that fly every day and know the sites better than there own kitchens and have the necessary TFI, SAHPA ratings. |

| | | | Sutherland This site allows the most local South African feel like a tourist! Sutherland has the real Small Town feel, no ATM, really bad 3G reception, and a little store for groceries etc. It does have a beautiful church. The accommodation surrounding the town is stunning with 3rd generation families opening there homes to guests. They also go out their way to offer home cooked meals!
