Tandem Hang Gliding Lessons
Currituck County Airport - Maple, NC
Fly to altitudes of 2000 ft. or higher with a certified instructor from our tow site at Currituck County airport. The views of Currituck Sound, the ocean, and the surrounding countryside are breathtaking from these altitudes. Once released from the tow plane, the only sounds are from you, the instructor, and the wind flowing around you. These elements, combined with stalls, dives, and turns, are sure to make tandem hang gliding the most exciting and memorable experience of your stay in the Outer Banks.
In tandem hang gliding, 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

Awesome Instructors...

0ur instructor was great. he was not only knowledgeable and professional but also very entertaining. I was a little nervous since this was my first time hang gliding but he was great informing me of everything that was happening and allowing me to really enjoy the experience. It was the highlight of our trip to North Carolina. I think our instructor deserves a raise!!! He was the best. Hope to be back next year to hang glide again. Thanks.
