All hang gliding experiences are an experience and a “lesson”. A first experience is as fun as it is educational. So, its an end in itself, ,without any need to go on, but still having been well worth the effort. Most people love the “family” lesson, where everyone, including the kids, participate as a team, in learning the basics of launching and landing a hang glider. Its a blast to feel your bare feet rise off the dune under your own power with the instructor, running along aside you making sure you are safe. So, its a holistic experience with a little bit of entertaining interactive classroom work (that parents love because it generalizes the principles of learning to anything the kids may want to try), a little simulator work and then finally going out to the beach practicing with a real hang glider. Its a very methodical baby step process that everyone enjoys – once your attention has been rewarded by the feeling of floating down the beach or small hill at height of four feet.
