Every Easter weekend, thousands of people from around the world flock to the quiet Ghanaian towns of Kwahu and Atibie for a paragliding festival and Easter carnival that residents hope may establish the West African nation as a hub for extreme sports.

This year marked the festival’s return to its annual schedule after the COVID-19 pandemic forced organisers to postpone the last two years’ events.

Participants hungry for adrenaline strapped into their harnesses and ran off a ridge atop Ghana’s second tallest mountain. As their kites caught wind, pilots and passengers alike were launched into the sky. Having acquired his tandem certification during the pandemic, he is now the only Ghanaian at the festival certified to carry others into the clouds.

Quaye was one of only four Ghanaian paragliders to fly solo at this year’s festival, two of whom live outside Ghana. But the scene is growing, thanks in part to what Quaye said is the sport’s innate quality for fostering community.
