Parapro is owned and operated by Dave Dennis. His love for flying started 24 years ago, flying microlights in the Canterbury region. From the early 1990's he began working throughout Australia and New Zealand as a Commercial Paragliding Tandem pilot and Instructor and is now seen as one of NZ's most experienced paragliding teachers. He is also New Zealands first certified Paramotoring Instructor to be rated within the NZHGPA organisation.

Experience paragliding in Christchurch, one of the best places to fly in NZ.
From only 15-20min from the city centre, we have 13 paragliding training take-off sites. Further afield - from just over 1hrs drive, flying is unlimited, with sites from 2500ft to 5000ft. On a good thermal day it´s not uncommon for paragliders to soar to 3500ft and beyond, overlooking the southern Alps, Christchurch City, the vast coastline of expansive beaches and Banks Peninsula. If you are seeking an adventure activity in christchurch then it's hard to beat the feeling of flight soaring high above christchurch.
