Flying is a challenge – a huge challenge – but if you get the best instructor beside you helping you to learn it; the glider becomes an extension of your body " just like a bird ". You will not only learn the basics but you will refine those skills. As a new student spending a two week intensive with the instructors, I would definitely recommend Kiwanda Kites and Oregon hang gliding school to any one who wants to learn this sport and get the sheer joy of life in freedom. They have the best program, not just for hang gliding but in life.

Also if you happen to like some thing other than hang gliding and more in sense of having a connection with a beauty of horse back riding; Kiwanda Kites can help you on that too. They have the best horse back riding instructors too.
