Dave Underwood
Dave originally hails from the prairies and remembers when he was a boy watching a commercial on TV showing a hang glider floating around effortlessly in the mountains. A passion for flying was born at that early age and just after finishing his mechanical engineering degree at the University of Waterloo he started hang gliding lessons in the Toronto area. He moved out west before graduating from the training hill and then had his first view of paragliders along a small cliff in the city of Victoria. The simplicity of paragliding struck a chord with him and he signed up for a beginner course with Claudio Mota’s Fly Victoria School in 2002. For the next 8 years he was a weekend warrior, getting out to fly when he wasn’t working in the Information Technology field. In 2010 he decided that he no longer wanted to spend the majority of his time sitting behind a desk so he quit his job to travel around the world with his paraglider. He ended up in India for a few years where he did hundreds of tandem flights for both international and Indian tourists alike. Now back in Canada he is excited to continue his pursuit of sharing the sky with excited passengers and teaching budding new pilots.
