Airsurfing and parakiting combine the power of the wind with the thrill of kiting — 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.
Airsurfing 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, airsurfing 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.
We want to establish Airsurfing a new flying art worldwide – together with a community that shares a passion for new ways of flying. We do this by Parakiting people to Airsurfing Parakiting safely and with passion – with modern parakites, professional training, and safe training areas on water, dunes, and coasts.
Together with certified pilots and flight schools/instructors, we undertake joint flying trips.
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.
