Beginner Hang Gliding Lesson
1.Beginner Hang Gliding Lesson
At Jockey’s Ridge State Park, Kitty Hawk Kites teaches first-time hang gliders through a 30-minute ground class and five training flights. Instructors such as Ben, Larson, Brad, and Drake coach you from the sand while you use the included glider, helmet, and harness. The lesson lasts about three hours and suits most beginners who can walk over soft sand and run during takeoff.
“It was really fun. Though, it wasn’t quite as expected, in that, we thought we would glide higher and for longer, without being tethered to the ground. Aside from that, it was a fun experience as the instructors were all nice and enthusiastic, and the dune area was pretty fun and interesting.”
