General information

Your Paragliding and Powered paragliding adventure start with us - and a
portable aircraft that fits into the boot of your car.  Fly in style and
become a member of our exclusive tribe at our well situated sport field on
the picturesque banks of the Hartebeespoort Dam, where sunrise and sunset

aircraft.  

Skywalk offers you an adventure, an escape from everyday life. You will
build friendships, mix with people who share your love for flying and you
will see the world and enjoy the outdoors from a different perspective, and
live your dream...

We have the best situated training and flying site in Gauteng . We can
offer you unlimited flying hours as this is one of the few schools in
Gauteng which offers a choice of paragliding (both mountain & winch
launching) and powered paragliding (paramotoring). We have winch facilities
and a mountain site at our doorstep - you don't need to drive anywhere else
to be accommodated. 

Everybody can offer you training in paragliding & powered paragliding.
But..., do you want to be trained to fly or do you want to live out your
passion for flying?  For us paragliding is a passion... and we want to
share it with you! At Skywalk you will be trained by one of the best. Chief
Instructor Ronnie Beukes has earned his national colours in PPG and
represented South Africa in the PPG World Championships in 2012. He is one
of a handful instructors in South Africa who is licensed to train all the
paragliding disciplines.

Ronnie's note: 

We watch an experienced pilot launch effortlessly and think it is as simple
as he/she makes it look. It's easy not to take the sport, and the skills
involved,seriously.  Paragliding has been part of my life since 1989 and I
have observed many capable instructors using different techniques. I have
seen what worked, or not, to develop a good skilled paragliding pilot. So
we lead by example and the school adopted and improved on this recipe -
that is why we are very successful in what we do and currently one of the
largest schools in SA regarding paragliding and powered paragliding
training.  

In a nutshell, my motivation is selfish - I want to preserve the sport by
training as many people as I possibly can to enjoy the sport with me, well
into retirement!!
