Para Clinics Aotearoa
Fly safer. Fly smarter. Fly with flow.
At Para Clinics Aotearoa, we believe paragliding is more than just a sport—it’s a way to connect deeply with the land, the sky, and yourself.
Inspired by the raw beauty and elemental power of Aotearoa, we help pilots develop not only technical skills but the mindset, awareness, and decision-making needed to truly thrive in the air.
Our clinics go beyond the basics to focus on what really keeps you safe, progressing, and enjoying every moment aloft: deep weather understanding, practical decision-making tools, mindset and flow-state training, and respect for the whenua (land) and the ever-changing moods of Tāwhirimātea—the atua of weather and winds.
Designed to fill the gap between traditional paragliding schools and true pilot mastery, our coaching combines practical flying skills with decision-making strategies, weather knowledge, and mental training. We guide you to fly not just with more safety, but with more flow, purpose, and joy.
Because better pilots make safer decisions. And the better we fly, the more we flow.

Our Story
He Kōrero mō Para Clinics Aotearoa
At Para Clinics Aotearoa, we do more than teach people to fly — we guide pilots into a deeper relationship with the elements, themselves, and the art of flight.

Led by Zak Morris — an acro pilot, mentor, and passionate educator — Para Clinics offers a unique blend of high-level coaching, mindful practice, and flow-based learning.
Whether you're newly licensed or refining your XC or acro skills, we welcome you into a culture of whanaungatanga, growth, and respect. We believe flying is more than a sport — it’s a way of being, a daily dialogue with the wind, and a path of ongoing discovery.

Why Choose Us
Our focus is on guiding pilots beyond the basics—into deeper understanding, sharper decision-making, and more meaningful progression.

We create a space where questions are encouraged, challenges are shared, and learning is personal. Through a mix of theory, coaching, and reflection, we help you connect the dots—from weather to mindset, from site analysis to self-awareness. This isn’t just about logging more flights—it’s about flying with purpose, clarity, and community.
