Fly High or Low Paramotor Training
North Carolina!
Why just watch sunsets from the ground when you can fly through them?
With our certified instructors and structured paramotor training in North Carolina, you’ll learn every aspect of this life changing sport
including how to launch, fly, and land safely while enjoying the most breathtaking views in the sky.
Most people have heard the phrase “on Cloud 9,” a state of happiness and bliss. At Cloud 11, we go beyond that. Flying is more than joy - it’s freedom, healing, and a connection to something higher.
Our paramotor training in North Carolina gives every student the chance to experience this feeling for themselves through safe and structured powered paragliding instruction.
Paramotoring at Cloud 11 is a paradox of peace and exhilaration. With the relaxing hum of the motor and the flow of air on your skin, you unlock the greatest superpower of all: the ability to rise above it all!
Up here, the horizon stretches wide and endless. You breathe in crisp, fresh air, taste the clouds, and don’t just watch the sunset… You become a part of it. Golden hour doesn’t just paint the sky; it surrounds you, wrapping you in a view reserved only for those who dare to take those few steps into the air.
Above it all, life slows down. The noise of everyday stress fades beneath your feet. Time becomes your own again, time to heal, time to reflect, time to draw closer to your higher power. Words alone can’t capture the magnitude of what it feels like to fly… because flight isn’t something you describe, it’s something you live.

DriftAir 2 is a freestyle-focused paramotor wing designed for pilots who enjoy dynamic PPG flying. Developed as the evolution of the original DriftAir, this new version offers improved agility, refined handling, and better stability at high speeds while maintaining ease of use and safety.
The wing was created specifically with freestyle pilots in mind. By removing features required for slalom flying, the design focuses entirely on dynamic maneuver performance, responsiveness, and pilot comfort. Pilots familiar with the previous DriftAir model will appreciate the smoother handling and improved control during aggressive flying.
Key design improvements include a new increased arc, shorter lines, and a revised brake system layout. These changes enhance maneuverability and provide balanced handling during both relaxed and dynamic flights.
The wing also features advanced technologies such as Shark-nose aerodynamics for improved airflow, Flexi Edge Technology for a stronger leading edge, and Dudek Reflex Airfoil for better stability and performance. Additional construction features help distribute canopy loads more efficiently while maintaining durability and precision.
DriftAir 2 is manufactured entirely in Europe using advanced laser cutting technology to ensure high build quality and precise construction.

Wing Loading & Size Selection
Choosing the correct wing size is important for safe and efficient flight. The general recommendation is to select a wing size where your total take-off weight falls near the middle of the recommended range.
Lower wing loading is suitable for calmer flying conditions and improved efficiency, while higher wing loading is typically preferred by experienced pilots seeking faster and more dynamic flight performance.
