This forum is dedicated to discussions on how to grow the sport of hang gliding. We will take a methodical approach to collect data and come up with implementable ideas on how to increase our numbers. This includes effective marketing, lead generation, site access issues, improving regulations, lack of instructors, lack of sites, etc

Strange that not yet anybody mentioned the largest HG and PG forum in the world:
http://www.gleitschirmdrachenforum.de
It helps if You know some German.
A question in english might get answers also.
Especially in the hanggliding chapter. Enjoy, W.
