Hang Gliding Introduction
 Our web site is
here to help answer your question about hang gliding and give you a better
idea of what is involved in learning how to hang glide and making a
reservation for lessons.
Learn to fly at Kitty
Hawk Kites' Hang Gliding Training Center. We are the largest hang gliding
school in the world, teaching hundreds of thousands of students since
1974!
We have taught students

challenges. All we require is a desire to fly like the birds. We provide
beginner, intermediate and advanced instruction.

tandem lessons.
- There are no age
restrictions, however students under 18 must have a parent or guardian
