Chief Flying Instructor, Jean Luc Lejaille runs Paragliding Rainbow, the only licensed school to operate in Carlo Sandblow in Rainbow Beach.
A pioneer in paragliding and para motoring, Jean Luc became the first licensed para motor instructor in Australia.
During his 11 years of teaching paragliding as a Chief Flying Instructor, he has over 3,000 student training hours under his hood, and... many happy students who revisit him regularly to improve their flying skills under his supervision.
He has 8 consecutive years as Secretary of the Sunshine Coast Hang Gliding Club and is elected Senior Safety Officer for that region.
Paragliding and Tandem Flying
Paragliders perform like soaring birds.
They ride wind updrafts on coastlines or hills, and use the natural force of thermals to carry them up to cloud base, from where they glide to the next thermal, covering great distances.
Godfrey Wennes from Manilla NSW, flew his paraglider over 335 Km to set a new world record, a great achievement to pride all foot launchers in Australia.
He also took the Worlds Longest Tandem Open Distance of 223Km.

I flew with Jean Luc several times. He is a certified chief flying instructor and operates Paragliding Rainbow. His impressive 100% safety record for 1400 Tandem flights speaks for itself.
Treat yourself to an incredible paragliding experience and enjoy the breathtaking views from above Carlo Sandblow and the beautiful Coloured Sands coastline.
(John Vista of Sunshine Beach, Sunshine Coast)
I was refered to Jean-Luc by a friend. After going for a tandem in 2005, I
got the bug, and started the course the following weekend. Being late 50's
and never flown anything before, I wasn't a fast learner. But I persisted
with Jean-Luc allways helping me to improve. I am now an intermediate pilot
and can show to the young pilots sometimes. Recently, I've traded my first
second hand for the new Apco Vista. I am realy happy with this glider, it's
safe with good as you can get lift.
Jean-Luc is now teaching me advance cross-country inland skills, great
challenges awaits me.
