01 — the problem

Google "paragliding near me." Good luck.

You get a TripAdvisor page from 2017, an operator whose certificate lapsed last spring, and a forum thread arguing about wind direction. You book the wrong thing. You show up on the wrong day. You never know if the operator is legit.

For veterans, the logbook problem is worse: a spreadsheet that doesn't know what 14,000 ft over Moab means, can't calculate your total air time, and definitely can't remind you that AFF Level 3 has a 30-day window.

Airkick fixes both ends: real-time weather windows, certification-verified operators, and a logbook that actually understands what you flew.

— our philosophy

"Thrill and negligence are not synonyms. Airkick exists because the gap between a first-timer booking a sketchy tandem and a veteran finding their 50th jump should not require five browser tabs, a Reddit thread, and a wing-and-a-prayer. Every operator we list is certified. Every weather window we surface is current. Every log entry you write is yours — structured, searchable, permanent."

— Airkick, 2025

02 — what we built

Every decision a thrill-seeker makes,
made better.

01

Weather windows, not weather guesses.

REAL-TIME

We pull hyperlocal forecast data — wind speed, gusts, visibility, cloud ceiling — and surface a go/no-go window for your specific discipline. Paragliding thresholds differ from skydive thresholds differ from cliff-jump thresholds. We know.

02

Operators who passed a check, not just a listing.

CERT. VERIFIED

Every provider is cross-referenced against national certification bodies: USPA, BPA, NZHGPA, DHV, FFVL, and 14 others. Expired cert? They drop off. No cert? They never appear. You don't have to ask.

03

Discovery built for wherever you land.

LOCATION-AWARE

Open Airkick in Queenstown, Chamonix, or Moab and it reads your location, checks active weather windows, and surfaces bookable activities within your chosen radius — sorted by today's conditions, not last year's review score.

04

A logbook that knows what 14,000 ft means.

SMART LOG

Log tandem or solo. Record altitude, duration, conditions, operator, and personal notes. For AFF students: automatic progression tracking. For veterans: total air time, disciplines over time, and a shareable jump card.

03 — how it works

From "I want to jump" to booked
in three steps.

Step 1

Open the app. Share your location.

Airkick reads where you are — or where you're heading. No manual city search, no zip codes. It knows if you're in Interlaken or an hour outside Moab.

Works anywhere with cell signal.

Step 2

See what's actually flyable today.

Active weather windows surface by discipline. Green means go. Amber means marginal. Red means the forecast will be better tomorrow, and we'll tell you exactly when.

Updated every 30 minutes.

Step 3

Book. Jump. Log it.

Tap any operator to see their certification, reviews, and available slots. Book directly or get their number. After landing, open your logbook — the details pre-fill from your session.

Entry auto-syncs across devices.

04 — the logbook

Every jump, every flight,
accounted for.

The Airkick logbook is built for people who take this seriously — or will. First-timers log their tandem with a photo, a note, and the operator's certification on file. Veterans track AFF progression, total freefall seconds, and can export a jump card for any license application.

05 — early testers

"I'd been wanting to try paragliding for two years. Airkick showed me a certified operator 12km from where I was staying in Interlaken, and the weather window was open that same afternoon. I flew the same day."

Clara Renaud
First-timer · Basel, CH

"I'm on AFF Level 5. The logbook knows what that means. It tracked my progression, told me my 30-day requalification window, and pre-filled my jump details from GPS. Nothing else does that."

Tariq Osei
AFF student · London, UK

"Checked every operator I found on Airkick against the USPA database manually — first three times, out of habit. They were all current. After that I stopped checking. That's trust."

How Seasoned Skydivers and Paragliders Are Using Experience Logs to Level Up Faster

Elite skydivers and paragliding pilots have kept detailed jump and flight logs for decades—and there's hard data showing that structured self-review accelerates skill progression and reduces incidents. We look at what the pros track after every session, from altitude and wind conditions to technique notes and gear performance, and how a digital log transforms raw experience into measurable growth.
