I hope to be visting turkey with my paramotor in the not too distant future and was wondering are their any retrictions on flying a paramotor in turkey.

Not really. Same basic restrictions as in the UK or US.

Dear Maurizio, I just saw your message. Of course you can. We go flying almost every weekend if the weather is good. Just let me know if you want to join us.

Great video. Thank you for posting. My question is whether if you've ever identified surfers (wave surfers, not windsurfers), or surfable waves, from air or ground? I found out rarely on the North coast of Istanbul, Kilyos, also other locations such as, Aglayankaya, Erba, Kumcagiz, and Sarisu get the right conditions for surf. Could you provide some information about conditions, frequency of waves, size, location, climates waves arise, etc. which may enable surf activity in the area.

Thanks

Thanks. I have not seen anybody wave surf in Turkey. The conditions may not be right. A surfer would know better,
