Goa dress code is beachwear. Paramotoring dress code is not. The gap between the two catches a lot of first-timers out, so here is the specific version.
Item 1: Footwear Is The One People Get Wrong
Fact: Closed shoes with some ankle support. Not flip-flops, not slides, not barefoot. Take-off involves a short run and landing involves your feet meeting the ground while still moving.
Explanation: Sandals come off at exactly the wrong moment. This is the single most common reason people are sent to find different shoes.
Item 2: Clothing
Fact: Comfortable, reasonably close-fitting clothes. Light long sleeves are genuinely better than a vest: at altitude the airflow is cool even on a hot Goa morning, and you are exposed to sun the whole time. Avoid anything that flaps.
Explanation: Tuck in loose layers. Skip the scarf.
Item 3: Sunglasses, Hats And Hair
Fact: Sunglasses are useful but they need to be secured — a retainer strap costs nothing and saves you losing them over the Arabian Sea. Loose caps will not survive.
Explanation: Long hair should be tied back and tucked in, for the same reason nothing loose goes near the propeller.
Item 4: Your Phone And Camera
Fact: Ask before bringing anything up. If approved, it has to be securely strapped, not hand-held.
Explanation: The reliable option is booking the camera add-on and letting the crew handle footage, which also means you spend the flight looking at Goa instead of at a screen.
Item 5: What To Carry To The Meeting Point
Fact: Water, sunscreen, your booking confirmation, and patience. Total venue time includes waiting for a safe window, so bring something to sit with.
Explanation: Leave valuables you do not need in your accommodation rather than in a bag at a beach launch site.
Item 6: A Note On Timing And Comfort
Fact: If you have booked a sunrise slot it will be cooler than you expect on the way there and warmer than you expect afterwards. A light layer you can strip off covers both.
Explanation: For evening slots the reverse applies — the temperature drops fast once the sun is down.
Conclusion: Closed Shoes And Nothing Loose
The entire list collapses into two rules. Wear shoes you can run and land in, and take nothing up that can flap, slip or blow away. Everything else — sunscreen, water, a light layer, a strap for your sunglasses — is comfort. Those two are the ones the crew will actually stop you for.
