Join us and LEARN TO FLY! Our award winning paragliding school specializes in teaching the fundamentals for the beginning pilot. In this sport you get to have fun right away--no prior flying experience is necessary. Our unique training hill overlooks the Pacific Ocean and the Channel Islands. The site offers gentle unobstructed slopes, and spectacular views from the air.

Safety is our number one concern. You will fly on state-of-the-art training equipment, and lessons are taught by USHGA (United States Hang Gliding Association) certified instructors, who focus on developing paragliding fundamentals. The basic techniques of paragliding -- launching, turning, and landing -- are fairly easy to learn by the first day. Your arms seem like wings as they control the paraglider above you; your flying position is as comfortable as a recliner. The thrill is unlike anything you've ever experienced.

The One Day Paragliding Lesson includes all equipment and instruction. We start with a classroom discussion and videos on the mechanics of paragliding. We cover the equipment, glider control, and flight plans. After covering the basics, your instructor will offer hands-on demonstrations. We practice inflating and controlling the wing on the ground, learning the launch sequence, landing, and steering skills before introducing the element of flight.

All solo flights are radio-supervised and entirely self paced. Before launching, Instructor and student recap the flight plan and landing procedure. Then you're off on your first fligh! After landing, a company van will be down to pick you up and bring you to the top of the hill for another try. Your instructor supervises you on the radio during your flight into the landing zone. As you progress we will introduce new concepts to help you improve your technique.

Cost: One Day Lesson $200 per person, minimum 2 participants.

Typical Time: 4 hours

Level of Difficulty: Easy to Moderate. Student pilots need to run at a jog in order to launch and land.

Paragliding includes: All necessary equipment, USHGA certified instructors and necessary shuttle. Pilots should bring ankle supportive footwear, or sneakers. Light cotton pants or jeans are recommended.

Tandem Lessons can be enjoyed by anyone less than 250 pounds of any age with no prior experience necessary. These two person tandem flights with USHGA (United States Hang Gliding Association) certified tandem instructors can accommodate large and small groups at our flight park. Minors need to be accompanied by an adult. We use a larger canopy designed to carry the weight of two people. Each person has their own harness, and the passenger and instructor are connected by spreader bars. The Tandem instructor sits in the back and the passenger sits up front. We organize our equipment and do a simulation before our actual launch. When the wind is right we count to three and build energy by running together as the wing comes overhead into the flying position. We run with the wing as we are lifted off the ground, up, up, and away!
