🪂 Who am I ? A passion that has become a job

I discovered the paraglider on Reunion Island in September 1997, And it was a real revelation. Very quickly, This passion has taken over my professional life in the automobile and finance. So I decided to leave everything to devote myself entirely to this intoxicating activity, in direct connection with nature and the elements.

 

After obtaining my state certificate of sports educator option paragliding, I founded black air paragliding 2006 In Saint-Leu, Where I now live year -round. From, I enthusiastically share this passion for free flight with visitors from around the world, in one of the most beautiful spots on the planet.

 

I am also passionate about scuba diving and marine mammals. With my friend photographer Éric Lamblin, We co-produced a photo book entitled [In the intimacy of whales], a poetic immersion in the heart of the ocean giants.

 

Lovers of nature and large spaces, I also practice mountain sports, Trail and ultra-trail.

 

Looking forward to meeting you, to make you discover the Reunion tunes ... and to present to you run, My faithful four -legged companion, Our mascot to all !
