Learn to fly  a Paragliding  & Hang-Gliding

 

Fly Korea is your choice of paragliding & hang-gliding certified instruction center in Korea.  

Korea is the home country of the world-famous paraglider manufactures such as Gingliders and Edel. This new sport has become one of the most popular outdoor activities in Europe, Japan, Korea, South Africa, Australia, and some countries in South America.   Now, it is very rapidly catching on in the United States.  
Its simple design and light wing allow you to carry the whole gears easily, weighing only twenty-five pounds and folding up in a backpack. This makes paragliding the ultimate thrill in foot-launched flight.

 

 

Fly in the way man has always dreamed of it. It will set you free and soaring with birds on silent wings.

   Many hills and mountains accounting for over 70% of Korean territory and mild weather guarantee you to fly para & hanggliders around most of the year and you will find many excellent flying sites in Korea.  No previous flying experience is necessary because we will teach you to launch and fly.  

 

You do not need your own flying equipments because we provide you all gear which fits your size.

Taking the lessons
We supply all the gear you will need. You will be equipped with a helmet, harness, and a glider to fit your size and weight. All students will be contacted via radio during all flight lessons. All lessons require reservations. This will allow us to limit class size so you receive plenty of personal attention. Lessons are taught year-round if the weather permits.

What to wear
Long pants (even in summer) and athletic shoes or hiking boots. In addition, bring a pair of light leather gloves. On cold days, wear appropriate clothing, including thicker gloves (ski gloves work fine).

What to bring
Bring sun block, sunglasses and a cap. A gallon of drinking water, a light snack and/or lunch. Spectators, friends and family are always welcome.

Occasionally, the weather will not cooperate and we must cancel or postpone a class. If this happens to your class, we will make an arrangement for you to come back and finish the class another day. No refunds can be made after the class starts.
