Welcome to Sunsoar? 

We were the first UK school to teach the BHPA syllabus abroad and have pioneered many great locations, now used by lots of UK schools.

Our locations are specifically selected for their suitability at the right time of year and for the level of course that we offer.

Don't let the weather limit your progress.  We have scoured the globe to provide you with the best destinations to fly paragliders and enjoy a great holiday as well.

The Best Locations ... The Best Tuition... Unforgettable holidays

We also teach you how to get down in an emergency,  and many wing control skills, such as spin recognition, collapse avoidance etc. We will be watching you  and guiding you into thermals, maximising your climbs and having epic flights. 

Post CP soaring & Thermalling - December 2019

-Morocco

  This is a great time of year to have some sunshine whilst the UK wraps up warm and immerse yourself in  the berber culture, oh, and have a great time learning how to soar and thermal. We have been going to Morocco since  2006, many schools have followed us for the guaranteed sunshine. Included in this trip is plenty of ground handling, soaring, and all theory. This is a trip for those with lowish airtime or fancy a recap and some Winter sunshine.
