Paragliding

With over 25 years of experience in the world of paragliding, my journey began in Colima, Mexico, where I took my first flights from La Cumbre mountain. In my early years as a pilot, I attended several SIV seminars, which led me to collaborate with Fábul, who introduced me to aerobatics and invited me to participate in various events and exhibitions.

Although Cross Country and competition were never my main focus, I have had the opportunity to take part in some local leagues, such as the Canary League, as well as prestigious international events like the X-Alps, where I accompanied Santiago as part of the Mexican team on an extraordinary adventure.

I have been living in Gran Canaria for the past 15 years, where, upon my arrival, I obtained all the necessary certifications to work as a professional pilot and instructor for paragliding courses. Thanks to the island’s exceptional year-round flying conditions, some people and journalists consider me the most active commercial tandem pilot in the world.

Currently, I work as a guide for paraglider pilots of all levels, a certified instructor for any level of experience, and a professional tandem pilot.
