TESTIMONIALS & REVIEWS
What people say about us
“Harley is simply the best powered paragliding instructor you can find in Bay Area. It took me 6 days of lessons with him to get confident with my wing and make my first flights. He is all about safety and he did fly PPG in all 50 states – so objectively he is the one of the most experienced people in the world. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to fly paramotors one day.”
Mikhail Alekseev
Paramotor Student
“Harley is awesome, he’s always down to help out/answer questions without judgement. He really is a “there’s no stupid question” type of guy. Super experienced pilot who dedicates 99% of his time to bettering the sport. 100% recommend.”

Paramotor Student
“trained elsewhere and didn’t feel adequately prepared. Harley trained me one on one for 5 additional flights sessions. He knows what he’s doing. You’re in good hands. Good luck!”
s00nermatt
Paramotor Pilot
“Yes, I know Harley well. He’s a great guy, very nice, and a very qualified instructor. His approach is very much to turn you into a pilot, not just a dude with a paramotor — besides making sure you can fly your wing, he makes sure you understand airspace rules, weather, airport operations, etc. His approach might be considered slightly conservative compared to other instructors in that he makes sure you walk before you try to run”
