Paragliding vlogger
Emre Kaya
I’m Emre, a paragliding vlogger, and I share how I work in free videos. To make along at home, you can download pre-flight checklist cards. If you’d like to learn properly, there’s my course, Ground handling for beginners. Another download people like is flight logbook printable. My designs also come on tees, mugs and hoodies, printed to order. Find me on YouTube. I’m on Instagram as well. And once in a while I write the Windsock.

Soft light, no wind, and forty minutes of floating over the water.
How I spread the wing, check the lines and wait for a good gust.
Three looks at the windsock, and why I stayed on the ground after the second.
About me
I fly from a grassy launch on the ridge above the coast, usually early, before the wind picks up. I started four years ago with a borrowed wing and a lot of questions, and I film everything I wish someone had shown me.
My videos are slow and honest: laying the wing out, reading the windsock, the landings that were not pretty. I am a hobby pilot, not an instructor, and I always say so. Learn to fly with a proper school, and use my videos to see what a normal day looks like.
Every Sunday I send a short letter with one flight, one lesson and a photo from the hill. The checklists and logbook pages in the shop are the ones I print and keep in my own bag.
The Windsock
One short letter every Sunday: a flight from my hill, one thing I learned, and a photo of the sky.
