¿Who we are?
The club of paragliders and paramotor "Kamikazes" consists of a group of people who have discovered that special feeling of freedom that Free Flight Paragliding and Paramotor does. Our club is in great growth and even flew to every corner of the island, our classes to new pupils / students are held in the towns of Barceloneta, Isabela, Aguada, Lajas, Ponce, Cabo Rojo, Humacao, Guayama and Ceiba. Our group was formed to 2002, and his Creator Instructor Luis Ruiz (Lic 1358 USPPA, Instructor) has been flying paraglider from 1999-2000. We are the first school-level certified USA, and we are also corporation PARAPENTEPR.INC. Other schools have been established on the island, whose started points were at our school. But we are the ORIGINAL AND MOST COMPLETE SCHOOL in every way. Always looking forward to PROFESSIONALISM, ETHICS AND HONESTY.  JUST GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW YOU WHY WE ARE THE MOST PREFERRED SCHOOL IN PUERTO RICO (OVER 20:1 !!!).

Our philosophy is to help discover new horizons for everyone who wants to experience these exciting experiences, but LOOOKS, is highly addictive !!!!. Among our objectives are the understanding and respect for the environment and nature, to encourage healthy living, sports, making friends and having a good time in the company enjoying the wonderful world of mountains, clouds and air, all with security as we do.

What is a sport of paraglider?

The paraglider was born in the late 70's as an outgrowth of the use of parachutes to descend from mountains with steep slopes, hence the name "para-glider." The first paragliders were mostly climbers looking for an easy way down from the heights once they had reached, but its evolution towards true gliders capable of catching the rising thermals, rise and stay aloft for hours converted to paraglider in a sport in itself, recreational and competitive, now played by thousands of people around the world and has circuits high level competition for its two disciplines, distance or flight 'cross-country' and acrobatics . Despite being considered an "extreme" sport paragliding involves no great physical demands to learn to fly and it is possible to maintain a high level of security on all flights, as long as they learn to fly in a good school, subsequently improving own knowledge and ability in the air, in addition to using the equipment best suited to each individual.


The team consists of the wing, a structure of self-inflatable lightweight fabric that resembles a parachute (though with higher aspect ratio and size and a more complex structure), consisting of several cells open at one end which allows it to fill air and that the structure maintain an aerodynamic shape to enable the lift in the air, such as airplane wings, "and so fly. The glider is attached by thin strings of highly resistant material to a harness in which the pilot is sitting has a control in each hand, when pressing the back of each half-wing, allows you to vary the flight path.

What is a paramotor?

The PPG is the easiest way to light aircraft there, one of the safest, and also the lowest cost. Consists of flying through the lift provided by a glider (glider fabric) and the propulsion provided by a small motor with a propeller on the back of the pilot, a device also called a paramotor. All the equipment weighs about 32-40 kg, and most fit in the trunk of a normal car.
The ability to fly low and slow, feel 'open' the flight, portability, low equipment costs and maintenance, plus good margins of safety that can fly, are considered the most deserving of the Paramotor. Is fun, visitors can enjoy walking on the most beautiful scenery to enjoy a nearly 360-degree view and can be practiced almost anywhere.
The sport originated in France in the late 80's, when some paragliders began to adapt their equipment engines glider to take off from flat areas away from the mountains. Some of those pioneers are now leaders of the main European factories PPG, and the machines have evolved from the first (and heavy) units adapted short-grass engines today use many other specially designed for flight. Paragliders have become more reliable and lightweight, about 2 times and even some 4-stroke, and as special gliders are manufactured for use in propulsion weight stronger, safer and more appropriate characteristics such
flight.

Most PPG pilots are men older than 30 years, but no sex or age limits from a minimum height and weight, is a sport played by men and women in many countries around the world and already has a circuit of high-level competition.
It also begins to develop a modality 'freestyle' in which privileges the WIG and acrobatic maneuvers.
Because the joint is a paramotor glider (glider) and motor, if the engine fails or goes off there is no problem because they will continue planning and in free flight. The only thing is that no engine is not up and, unless the pilot is able to find a natural descent, should find a good place and land.
