Welcome to my international guests!
This website is devoted to paragliding and travelling. Flying with and without engine power -
because each type of it has its very own pleasures and fascination. I want to let interested
surfers take part in my journeys and adventures with pictures, stories and films.

The Lord of the Winds
A fellowship embarks on an aerial quest:
a traverse of New Zealand’s fabled islands
Documentary movie, 2009, DVD - 47 Minutes,
English / German / French
Production: Till Middelhauve
Summary:
Join Dave Dennis and his five companions as they battle high winds, storms and the wheels of bureaucracy on a multi-day adventure through the Tolkienesque landscapes of New Zealand on powered paragliders.
Armed with just a canny knowledge of meteorology, a bold approach to personal aviation, and a nylon wing powered by a lawnmower engine and a propeller, the pilots embark on an adventure of a lifetime. Before long they are immersed in an aerial safari of some of the world’s most beautiful landscapes and an odyssey fraught with both danger and elation.
Using clever onboard cameras and a chuckling ground crew „Lord of the Winds“ documents the trials and tribulations of the team as they soar, glide and crash their way across New Zealand. It’s an inspiring film that laces frank and candid interviews with dreamy aerial footage of stunning landscapes to produce a riveting adventure.
„Lord of the Winds“ is an absorbing movie that will leave you dreaming of flying high above far off lands, or rapidly booking your tickets.

East Wind - A Border Crossing Adventure
Content:
Join Till Middelhauve, Michael Werner and Eric Behr as they embark on a border crossing-adventure of eastern Europe on 'Flykes'… flying bicycles!
The Flyke is a hybrid of a push-bike and a paramotor, and can be pedalled engine-off, motored propeller-on, and, of course, flown.
Over 15 days the trio fly, pedal and motor the 1632 km from Hanover to the Black Sea. Travel with them as they breeze down leafy lanes, cycle across summer meadows, fly over wondrous cloudscapes, push through deep valleys under orographic mist and propel themselves, motors on, down bustling highways, dwarfed by articulated trucks.
It's an eyebrow-raising, hilarious adventure that crosses boundaries and leaves bystanders astonished. With the Flyke, the journey never ends - you touch down, fold your wing, and cycle on!
Duration: ca. 37 Minutes
Languages: German / English (selectable)
Specials on this DVD:
- Short movie "High Above" (ca. 8 Minutes)
- Image sequence "Just Clouds"
- Interview with the Flyke inventor

24-page-written diary:
There is a really long diary which was basic work for the film. I translated it automatically with 'Babelfish' which results in very funny English! Anyway, the really interested one will have fun reading the whole story in all details!
