Experience the freedom of flying with wind in a new and safe way—on water, dunes, and coasts.
We want to establish air surfing as a new flying art worldwide – together with a community that shares a passion for new ways of flying. By introducing people to airsurfing and parakiting safely and with passion – with modern parakites, professional training and safe training areas on water, dunes and coasts.
In addition to experiencing and deepening our knowledge of the sport, this platform is also our meeting place for sharing knowledge, learning from each other and ensuring safe flying.
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.
A new dimension between sky and water—safe, intense, and unforgettable. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, air surfing and parakiting are suitable for anyone who's always wanted to fly!

Dates & Request
Taly, a paramotor and paraglider pilot, has learned soaring and air surfing.
"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!"
Your camp. Your level. Your air moment. Whether you're just taking your first leap or already dancing confidently in the thermals, we have the right camp for your level.

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.
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.
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.

Dates & RequestYour 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.
Air surfing is more than an experience—it's a movement. If you want to be part of it, connect with like-minded people and join our growing community. Follow us on Instagram or join our WhatsApp group to stay up to date and get to know our new world.
