Founder, managing director and instructor
I am originally from Wales, moved to Sweden in 1988 and started paragliding that same year after a trip to Chamonix. With some previous skydiving and sailplane experience, the transition to paragliding went relatively smoothly. I was hooked immediately and flew every moment I could. It didn’t take long before I became an instructor. I started working professionally with paragliding in 1991 and have never looked back, I founded Stockholm’s Paragliding school in 1995 which later on changed its name to Airsports. My love and passion for being airborne never weakened, it’s driven me to learn to fly most types of aircraft but paragliding is and always will be my favourite form of flying with its unbeatable feeling of freedom and “simplicity”.
Finally, I gave in to the long dark Scandinavian winters and moved to the Island of eternal spring, Tenerife in 2013 and founded Airsports Tenerife paragliding. Here the thermals really never end. We can safely fly all year round with an average of about 340 flyable days per year! A paragliding paradise!
When I´m not in the sky you will most probably find me camping with my kids, buzzing about on my motorbike or mountain bike, or busy in the kitchen cooking and mixing drinks 🙂
I hope to see you soon here in sunny Tenerife!

What a great experience! My pilot was former Swedish champion Nils Carlsson who worked hard to find us the thermals to give us the lift to altitude that we needed.... read more We were airborne about 40 minutes and the flight ended with a very gentle landing on the beach at La Caleta. I can't recommend this enough. Nils, Simon , Luka, are a great bunch of guys who run a very professional, safe outfit and will move mountains to send you home smiling. As I say, wonderful. Like everyone on the island they've suffered a lean time with lockdown etc. so if you can support them then please do. (They're doing some great deals right now whilst there is a shortage of tourists). Thanks again guys. It was magnificent!
Paragliding was on my bucket list and the boredom of the lockdown pushed me to get an energy boost. First time ever, Simon was just perfect.
A nice unexpected discount... read more and free upgrade to start from 1100m in Ifonche, gopro pics and recording included too! Smooth landing on La Enramada beach and in between breathtaking views on Tenerife west coast through the clouds. Absolutely perfect conditions and amazing experience overall. Thank you!
