Fly with a completely new flying technique

Air surfing & paragliding

Air surfing and paragliding combine the power of the wind with the thrill of gliding—over water, dunes, and coastlines.

Marco Köppel has experienced everything in over 20 years as a kitesurfer. But when he began to break down the boundaries between kitesurfing and paragliding, something completely new emerged: air surfing.

Air surfing involves surfing the wind—in the air, tethered to a static rope. You fly within the radius of the rope, skimming across the water, touching it, turning, and feeling the wind.

Without parakiting, air surfing would not be possible. In parakiting, you use a specially developed hybrid kite such as the "Moustache" – a kite that combines the characteristics of kites and paragliders. Parakiting forms the basis for flying safely and in a controlled manner when air surfing later on.

Previous experience

We strongly recommend taking a basic paragliding course. The golden rule in flying: ground handling!
Learn to control the glider—take off, land, turn, run, and make short flights. The more you practice with the glider, the safer and smoother your first solo flight will be. A fit body and mind—that's your true flying machine.

Training

Whether in an open field, on a gentle slope, in the snow, on a dune in the desert, or on a windy coast, your first training partner is and always will be the wind. It is important that it is constant and clean, hitting a safe, obstacle-free area. This is the only way you can train your ground handling effectively and enjoyably – the basis for every safe flight.

Free flight

Free flight – that one moment, weightless and boundless – is within reach. But that is precisely where its power and responsibility lie. For you, for others, for the sport. Only those who understand the glider, feel it, and become one with it are ready. Ground handling is not just about technique, it's about trust. Only when this foundation is in place does free flight become not just possible – but unforgettable.
Just give it a try!

Customer reviews

Taly, a paramotor and paraglider pilot, has learned soaring and air surfing.

"

Fun, freedom, and community—that's exactly what air surfing feels like.

"It's unbelievable – one minute your feet are in the clearest turquoise water, and the next you're flying over the sea. I experienced this both on the boat during the kite safari and in the desert. The beauty of the locations overwhelmed me; the feeling was completely new and at the same time super safe. Air surfing at sunset was simply unforgettable. It's impossible to describe – you have to try it yourself and be prepared to fall in love immediately. Fun, freedom, and community – that's exactly what air surfing feels like. Thanks to the entire Airsurf Academy crew!"

Air surfing – the original on water

Feel the power of the wind as you soar through the air on a parakite. Attached to a static rope, you'll surf through the air, skim across the water, and perform turns—at a speed and with a freedom that is addictive. For a week, you follow the wind from lagoon to lagoon, surrounded by turquoise water and endless horizons. The salty breeze, the sun on your skin, floating above the sea—an experience you'll never forget.

Airsurf Trips

Air surfing can be done anywhere where water, wind direction, and space allow—whether on a lake or at the sea. We offer the ideal experience on the BIGDAYZ kitesurfing safari – away from mass tourism, on a safari yacht right next to Egypt's best kitesurfing spots. In addition to air surfing, you can enjoy kitesurfing, diving, snorkeling, and more. Ready for an unforgettable adventure?

Individual Airsurf Trips

We also offer customized air surfing trips tailored to individuals, groups, or teams. Together, we explore new spots, check conditions, and accompany you from your first steps to safe, limitless flights.

An example: In Los Roques, Venezuela, we set up the area with an experienced skydiver and trained ten skydivers in air surfing. For ten days, we flew over turquoise blue water, carried by the constant Caribbean wind – technique, safety, and the feeling of boundless freedom combined in every session.

Desert Parakite Safari – Soaring over the dunes in the Egyptian desert

A unique adventure. Take an off-road vehicle deep into the desert, where the wind is perfect. Four to five tried-and-tested spots far away from the hustle and bustle offer ideal conditions for paragliding.

The day starts with a traditional Egyptian breakfast, followed by an in-depth look at hybrid kite technology and wind conditions. Then, depending on the conditions, you can fly all day long. And when the sun sinks behind the dunes, the cozy crackling of the campfire awaits you under the starry sky.

Brazil Coastline Airsurf & Parakite Trip

A trip full of space, wind, and lightness. We fly along the coast of Brazil, where the Atlantic Ocean breathes freely and the dunes open up the horizon. The starting point is Canoa Quebrada, from where we reach different spots—ideal for beginners and advanced riders alike: plenty of space, safety, and freedom for new lines in the air.

Together we experience moments that cannot be planned—fresh fish on the beach, lime juice, the scent of the sea, the wind in our faces. Then it's back into the air: air surfing, paragliding, kitesurfing.

Our first trip was raw, adventurous, and authentic. Two weeks that showed us that freedom is a feeling, carried by the elements and the community. Created in collaboration with Valley Wind and accompanied by Matt, our experienced flight instructor, it turned into an experience that connects and allows us to grow.

Guides & Downloads for Airsurfing & Kitesurfing

Freedom arises where security is a given.

Safety comes first

Your safety is important to us. That's why we have clear rules: The rope has a tensile strength of several hundred kilograms – the flying area is carefully secured and other water sports enthusiasts are kept out.

All participants must wear helmets and sturdy shoes. The parachutes and harnesses are regularly checked, retrimmed, and replaced if necessary.

There are at least two safety systems: Quick-Out System, which you can activate yourself with your knees – you still remain safely attached to the canopy.

A rescue boat is always on standby. The training is tailored to your level of proficiency—safety comes before speed.

Here you will find important information about Airsurf & Parakite: training, technology, safety, and more. The collection is still growing, but soon all documents will be available for you to download. Check back regularly!
