Introduce yourself in a few words…
I’m a young pilot from the Jura Mountains, France. I started flying when I was 9 but I’ve really gotten hooked when I was a teenager. Since then, that’s all I live for! I’ve been really lucky to join the Paragliding Pôle Espoir in Font Romeu for two years, that gave me the chance to get the abilities needed to succeed in XC competitions.
How do you practice paragliding?
I mainly XC fly. I started acro and proximity flying 5 years ago. Hike & fly has become increasingly more important over the past 2 years.
and AirDesign in all this?
AirDesign gave me my first full hike & fly pack last year: a beautiful Hero 2 and a Sock SL. A huge thank to them 😉
