On the black volcanic ridgeline above Costa Adeje the wind starts to pulse, teasing the canopy as instructors check lines and harnesses. You step forward, feel the rush of Atlantic air lifting the wing, and for the next 15–20 minutes the island drops away—housing blocks shrink, cliffs expose basalt cliffs, and the ocean dares you with white-capped swells below.

Weight and age limits
Confirm the operator’s maximum passenger weight (commonly 105 kg) and minimum age (often 6 years) before booking.

Book early morning or late afternoon
Thermal conditions are generally steadier outside midday, improving both safety and smoothness of flight.
Secure loose items
Remove or tightly secure phones, hats and glasses; tethered cameras are best arranged with the operator beforehand.
Sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes
Good traction for rocky launch sites and a secure foothold during takeoff and landing.
Windproof jacket
Protects against cooling winds at altitude and during morning/evening flights.
Sunglasses and sunscreen
Sun is strong above the water; UV exposure increases with altitude and reflection from the ocean.

Small reusable water bottle
Short activity but dehydration can amplify motion-sickness and fatigue in warm weather.
