What To Expect On Your First Hang Gliding Lesson

A typical beginner training day starts at 8 am.

The first thing you will learn is to set up a hang glider. Within an hour, you will be learning how to hold the glider and prepare for launching.

Launching and landing are the most important parts of flying, so you will want to learn these first. WARNING! After several short flights on our training hill you may be hooked.

Each hillside lesson lasts four to five hours and all hang gliding equipment is provided. We suggest you wear an old pair of jeans and a good pair of running shoes.

Bay Area Hang Gliding instructors are ready to teach 7 days a week. We are known for small classes and a personal touch. We will schedule no more than four students per lesson. This gives the students more personal instruction as well as more flying time.
