Best Value in Hang Gliding!
The Wright brothers did most of their flying here on the Outer Banks in the Fall and Winter months. You, too can take advantage of this great time of year to fly. From November through February you can take as many dune lessons as you want! We are open 7 days a week throughout the year. The off season promises smaller class sizes, good winds and lots of flights.
With unlimited lessons you can earn your Hang 1 rating, allowing you to fly without supervision from the sand dune. You will then be able to pursue skills needed for your Hang 2 rating. By the spring you’ll be that much closer to soloing your hang glider 2,000′ above the ground! Please note, ratings are never guaranteed. The student must demonstrate skills and knowledge commensurate with the USHPA rating to be signed off.
The USHPA requires a level of maturity commensurate with the Hang 1 rating. We strongly recommend pilots be at least 16 years of age and weigh at least 100lbs. Please call the Hang Gliding School at (252) 441-2426 with questions.
