Solo Flaring Road Trip Pt 1 | 6 Days, 6 Sites, 1200km

Paragliding Road Trip | Mid North Coast, Australia

This September, I set off on an epic 1200 km Flaring/Paragliding road trip from the Sunshine Coast, QLD, to Sydney, NSW, with a special mission: picking up my girlfriend from the airport. She was flying back to Australia from Norway after spending the summer working abroad. To celebrate her return, we turned her arrival into a 3 week road trip adventure, exploring both new and familiar paragliding sites along Australia’s East Coast.

The first leg of the trip was I was running solo, which I absolutely love. I had six days of pure freedom—free camping on remote beaches, discovering new flying spots, and revisiting some old favourites. It was the perfect mix of adventure, nature and flying. This was a really fun fun trip, and I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed filming it.

Part two of this journey will be in the next video, where we traveled back north together. Over two weeks, we immersed ourselves in the beauty of the Mid North Coast, NSW. Stay tuned—I’m excited to share the next chapter of this adventure with you.

I will be releasing an interactive Flaring/Paragliding Site Guide of the East Coast of Australia in the coming months through a digital platform, keep your eyes peeled, I’ll let you know when it’s ready. Really excited to share this one, it’s going to be great.
