Hello all,
I recently became obsessed with hang gliding after a dream I had, and I'm going to try it for the first time very soon. I've been skydiving before, but it just felt kind of short lived and without any finesse, so I'm hoping that hang gliding will be more satisfying... like actual flying, rather than controlled falling.
Anyway, I'm going to start with a tandem Hang Gliding the Hudson flight, and then, if I like it, I'll probably take some lessons in Ellenville, NY. That is, unless you guys can offer me some recommendations for other places in the Northern NJ area that would be good for a beginner?
I would eventually like to be able to solo launch from a mountain / cliff using my own rig. (I know that lots of time and money are needed to get there).
Also, are there some resources / materials that you can recommend for "Hang Gliding Basics" that I should read through?
Thanks!
