LEARN TO FLY TODAY
Let's make your dream of flying a reality
ABOUT ME
Hey, I’m Danielo — and it’s no accident that the motto of my school is: “Learn to fly, run into the sky!” I was born in Brazil, raised in France, and now call Los Angeles home. Before becoming a pilot, I traveled the world as a professional dancer, choreographer, and teacher, exploring the cultures of over 50 countries. Flying is more than a sport to me; it’s a way of life. My personal mantra is STAYBAD: Stay Beyond Any Definitions. It’s about living without limits, embracing freedom, and always pushing higher — both in the sky and in life. Today, one of my greatest passions is sharing that freedom with others. Whether it’s soaring above sand dunes, oceans, or vibrant poppy fields, teaching people to fly is an incredibly rewarding experience. I’ve been flying for over six years and am a USPPA-certified instructor, also certified in tandem flights. I fly a custom-colored Qubik 21m, Kougar 3 for paramotoring, and for paragliding, I use a Hook 5P 24m in gold. When I’m not flying, dancing, or teaching, you’ll find me behind a camera — creating videos that blend my love of flight with storytelling and adventure.
THE CLASSES
🪂 What Sets STAYBAD PARAMOTOR Apart?
At STAYBAD Paramotor, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all training. Our one-on-one format and individually tailored program are designed to meet you where you are.
In this private setting, you’ll learn to fly at your own pace, with instruction customized to your fitness level, learning style, schedule, and personal goals. Unlike the traditional “boot camp” model — where students are rushed through group training in about 8 days — STAYBAD focuses on long-term confidence and competence.
Group courses can feel overwhelming, leaving many students underprepared and unsure. With STAYBAD, your training schedule is based on your availability (weekdays or weekends), and you’ll progress at a pace that actually sticks. Most beginners are confidently flying solo by their 8th lesson.
You’ll complete the full USPPA syllabus and earn your PPG1, PPG2, and PPG3 ratings. You’ll also train in varied locations and diverse flying conditions, giving you real-world experience to fly confidently anywhere.
Best of all, you can keep training as long as you need or want to. When you’re done, you won’t just be checked out — you’ll be fully ready to fly solo, safely, and with total confidence.
For experienced pilots, we also offer advanced training, including USPPA Instructor and Tandem Instructor certifications.
BASIC TRAINING
Our "basic" training is designed to take someone from zero to proficient with Paramotor flying.
ADVANCED TRAINING
Advanced training is for PPG pilots who already have a USPPA PPG3 rating or equivalent skills and want to become a USPPA foot launch instructor or USPPA tandem foot launch instructor.
REFRESHER
A refresher is the best and safest way to get back into the air after a long break due to winter, injuries or just to polish some skills.
Tandem Flight
Take off for adventure on a tandem paramotor flight and see Ventura Beach from a breathtaking new perspective. See stunning coastal views in the hills as you soar to heights of 1000's feet, firmly attached to your certified instructors.
The sense of freedom and tranquility is unforgettable as you glide through the skies.
Discover the art of paramotoring on a tandem flight over Ventura beach that will live in the memories forever!
Life is short and you should focus on living it, STAYBAD.. Beyond Any Definitions!
