It was my first time doing tandem hang gliding ever this past October and I'm so glad I did it with Windsports Hang Gliding! I planned a trip to LA for my birthday and booked the reservation a week or two in advance. It was an easy process to register online. The day before the scheduled flight, Josh notified me via email that it had to be canceled due to the weather/wind conditions. Josh worked with me to reschedule the experience for me and my sister almost immediately, even as I was messaging him late in the evening. We were able to reschedule the session for the very next day or so, and it was an amazing experience! Josh, his colleagues, and his other students were kind and welcoming to me and my sister. We enjoyed the bumpy ride up the mountain, watched some safety videos, and had a practice run before setting off. Also, buying the gopro video is well worth it in my opinion. If you like riding roller coasters, and want to do something badass to brag about to your friends and family, I recommend booking with Windsports Hang Gliding!
Josh and Andy are awesome! I was very nervous about taking my first hang gliding flight but they reassured me and made me feel very safe. There is nothing like hang gliding, you really feel like you are a bird soaring through the sky, definitely worth it!
I went trough Windsports training starting from 1999 to become a hang glider pilot and enjoy free flight ever since, thanks to Andy. To this day I still admire the professionalism and enthusiasm Andy is training future pilots with. Andy and Josh have an impeccable safety record. Thank you guys! Hang gliding might be a small niche sport, but your dedication and hard work is what made this sport for us great.
Took about 15-20 min to get fitted with the equipment thus begun approx 1215 arrived early. In between our session other individuals took flights for approx 30-40 min. Gentleman referred to my 29YO grandson as a GRANDBOY in a statement: As an African-American this is a means in emasculating and demeaning a Black male! Finish time 1430. Site states 4 hour session. Paid $320.00 for approx two hours!
Hats off to Josh and the team. Had a superb first experience in Hang-Gliding, and spent almost 30 minutes in the air, and its literally an amazing way to "hang-out". They are really professional, courteous and fab client service!
Josh was am amazing instructor- very personable, explanations and directions were clear and easy to follow. My husband and I took the shorter/introductory training and it was a great introduction to hang gliding. There was something very relaxing about just floating over the beach and looking at the ocean. The cost is very reasonable The previous owner came by and we got the opportunity to watch him hang glide and that was pretty awesome. I highly recommend it! Exactly what I needed on a Friday afternoon after a long week!
I had a blast with 2 instructors that were genuinely knowledgeable, kind and friendly. I will definitely be going back for more hang gliding lessons with Windsports, I mean what beats hang gliding right by the ocean?!!!
Wind sports is the single best hang gliding school in the United States, The people that run it are the nicest most accommodating, caring, friendly, knowledgeable, People you will ever meet. If you want to learn how to fly hang glider safely. I wouldn't recommend anybody else! The only thing I could warn you is. You might like it.
