What does it really mean to grow up inside paragliding and never lose the feeling of play?

In this episode of the Find Your Path Podcast, I sit down with Tim Alongi, FAI World Air Games Acro Champion, multiple-time French Champion and Red Bull X-Alps athlete.

Tim is one of the rare pilots who has successfully moved across very different worlds of flying, always on the highest level of our sport: from acro competition to hike & fly racing and alpine flying.

From the very beginning of this conversation, one thing becomes clear:

For Tim, flying is not something he learned but something he lives.

We talk about:

• what it feels like to grow up flying from a very young age

• why playfulness is still at the core of his flying today

• the importance of continuity and time in the air when life gets busy

• how technique, equipment and confidence actually work together

• why many pilots struggle to progress despite flying regularly

• and how different disciplines like freestyle, climbing and other sports shape his approach to flying

This conversation is about feeling, instinct and the relationship with the wing.

A look into the mindset of a pilot who moves naturally between different styles of flying and still approaches the sky with curiosity.

If you want to understand what it means to stay connected to the joy of flying while developing your skills, this episode will give you a different perspective.

Cheers,

Paul
