- My very first vlog on the channel.
In this vlog I am sharing my recent trip to Socotra in Yemen.
Socotra is an almost empty island owned by Yemen. For 14 years I have dreamt of flying these. This year this dream finally came true thanks to Nova Paragliders!
I also explain the process to go there and how we did once on the island during the video!
Pilots and camera during the vlog : Fabien Gasteiger, Patrick Sieber, Ole Dalen, Nick Donini

OMG!! The places we go to fly, Yemen! This is incredible Théo, what a great throw and go! One has to wonder how did those monstrous dunes happen? Hey we have the same harness, Nova Ituis, love mine. Happy travels!!
Absolutely stunning film to watch Theo de blic😊👍what a dream. I'm going to watch it again 😀
So sick!!!.............What an awesome trip!
What a playground❤ Super spectaculair place to be able to fly, You made your dream really come true🤗
You guy can f-ing fly! Acro and proximity is not my cup of tea, but I'm in awe anyway. Glad you could make a dream come true!
What a great place to fly.
I had one of those tours with a geological background in Oman. We were out there 3 weeks camping all over the country. It was incredible and yes, the cooking is the most important part because you don't have time for it 😉. I still dream of flying in the mountains of Oman. Unfortunately, without a group this can get very expensive.
Yes, without a group socotra is expensive. Although it’s very safe, political and flying wise ! The flying conditions are easy to read and not treacherous. But it lacks a proper medical attention and easy exit to European country for sure
Bien joué et félicitations pour la réalisation de ce rêve sans aucune incident. Les vues de ces paysages sont vraiment incroyables! Il y a pire come boulot 🙃
C'est fou, les images sont dingues ! Un grand bravo 👏🏻
Grand fan aussi 🙏

Thank you for the video. I'd like to go
beautiful place bro and your are really PRO . i am in dubai and flying in desert 😊
Come out to Utah!
We wana see theo with moustache…❤
Really nice! Like this adventure and that You made it there. But imagine more tourism on this VIRGEN NATURE sites? Hm? Possibly better not. You are bloody young, but think a few steps ahead. It is not all about service and how it works. Imaging all this people having much more financial potential going there. Hope this Islands government takes wise decisions. To make it the right way. Chapeau, to all Your Supporters and Your Team.
Nova is now selling tester gliders. No Sand/No ground handling/No Siv. Very few hours xD
We had the same thoughts 😂😂😂
Came here to make that comment, almost word for word!

cache dans le sac a dos le moustache? 😉
Hello when will you have course at Asia? Could let me know our members would like to join your course
Hi, normally November !
Perhaps some words concerning local ecosystem?
is socotra safe for solo trip these days?
As safe as it can get for a country being in war... Also remember that it is an island far away from anything. If you have an accident you may not be able to get out for a few days, up to a week if you are not lucky.. There is one "hospital" in Hadibo, the main city on the island, but if you have to relay on that place.... might as well try to fix yourself up on your own...
Politically wise the country is I think very safe. Yes Yemen is at war but socotra is very far from that and we could not feel this at all, we never really saw the army anywhere and everyone was super relaxed. I think socotra is pretty different to Yemen.
But of course as said on the comment above the hospital is an issue. You don’t want to go there so you have to extra careful not to injure yourself. Going back to Europe might take a while!
@@theoflies @adrian, thank you for the answer, the island is on my radar for years now.
Is carbon footprint a topic at all in your travels?
Hello Theo de blic could you pm me, I would like to check whether you have SIV & Acro course in China soon!
