The SIV training team Annecy

Your SIV course instructor: Omar

Originally from Lyon, I discovered free flight through a speed riding course in Val Fréjus. Passionate about this sport, my training quickly propelled me among the top French athletes in the discipline.
A jack-of-all-trades, I quickly wanted to diversify my activities—that’s how I started paragliding. I moved to Doussard seven years ago with the goal of obtaining my paragliding instructor certification.
Now certified since 2020, I hold several qualifications.
I initially pursued a career as a tandem pilot, but eventually returned to my first passion: teaching.
I fly a lot in my free time, with a preference for acrobatics: helico, 360 landings, and other maneuvers are my specialty.
In winter, I teach speed flying in Val Fréjus.
Passionate about free flight, I also practice speed riding, skydiving, and BASE jumping—activities that give me a deep understanding of flight mechanics.
I also built my own speed wing, which I tested in real conditions at Val Fréjus.
Pedagogical, patient, and dedicated, I would be delighted to guide you in your paragliding progression.
