Hi, I’m Ria Moothilal – a paragliding instructor, XC pilot, and data enthusiast based in Cape Town, South Africa. After starting with a fear of heights, I've now spent more than two decades in the air.

I've learnt how to learn, and how to teach, from some of the greatest instructors on the planet. My approach blends real-world flying experience with data-driven insights, giving students clear, practical tools they can use straight away. Whether you’re learning the fundamentals, mastering advanced techniques, or understanding weather patterns for safer, longer flights, I focus on making every lesson engaging, clear, and grounded in reality.

The courses and programs you’ll find here are designed to help you fly better, make smarter decisions, and enjoy the freedom of paragliding to the fullest.
