Learn about hang gliding in a 45 minute Ground School program and then take 5 training flights in your first lesson! The soft sand dunes of Jockey's Ridge State Park and consistent, clean winds of the Outer Banks offer the perfect training facility for introductory lessons virtually all year long.

Ages 4 years old and up can fly!
(please call if any participants are under 75 lbs or over 225 lbs)

Kid's Dune Lesson is designed for students that weigh less than 75 lbs. Each Kid will be taught in the same class as any other adult participants (side by side on the sand dunes), but will usually be organized into a a different group on the dune to put them in a glider specific to their weight.


This lesson may be scheduled online during the months of June, July & August. Since we have to add an additional instructor for this lesson, it is set for designated times during the day in the summer months. We do offer this lesson throughout the entire year, but please call us to schedule this lesson any month other than June, July or August.


Participants should be no younger than 4 years old.

The student and instructor are hooked into the glider together. The glider is designed specifically for tandems with a larger wing area for more lift and tricycle landing gear to simplify take offs and landings. An ultralight plane tows you to altitude, the glider is released, then you and your instructor glide back to the airport where you land like a plane.

No prior hang gliding experience necessary!

Smoother air conditions are typical in the morning (versus warmer midday temperatures), so we recommend earlier scheduling. As long as conditions prevail we will fly until the early afternoon. Since we fly one person at a time, you should anticipate approximately 1-2 hours for this activity from check-in to execution of your scheduled flight depending on the number of people in your party.

Participants must be at least 10 years old and weigh less than 225 lbs
