Well, that effect can happen with the sand. If you’ve ever been skiing during a sunny day you understand the effect: The sun reflects off the white snow and can actually give you a sunburn. We spoke to them the day before their trip ended – they said they had yet to go to Jockey’s Ridge State Park because it was just too hot everyday. We had friends vacationing in the Outer Banks the last week of September, the week before our vacation, the first week of October. Why is this important? Because of the heat of the sand. Why October is a Great Time to go Hang Gliding in the Outer BanksĪn advantage of visiting the Outer Banks in October was the temperature. It was very easy to get the images and video from there. They’re done through a third party that delivered them within two days via a link through a text message delivered to our cell phones. We’re glad we had both – our photos and the ones from Kitty Hawk Kites. Then we had a bystander’s perspective to add to the footage from Kitty Hawk Kites, if you will. We happily snapped photos and additional videos of each other from the ground. So I ran back to the car to grab my iPhone (I didn’t want to risk sand interfering with my DSLR in a sand dunes park). Luckily the parking lot wasn’t far from where we were gliding – perhaps a 10 minute walk from inside the park to the parking lot and vice versa. Having a backpack with water and a camera, be it a DSLR or a cell phone, was easier than we initially thought. Though we realized it was easier to have some stuff on us because if one of us was gliding the other person was staying on the ground simply watching. This gives the camera a view of you but not from a distance, including the glider. We realized, however, the film package includes videos from a stationary GoPro attached to the glider. We figured it was best to not have anything on us for hang gliding in the Outer Banks. Originally we left our cell phones and camera in the car.

(It’s $39 plus tax if you decide to buy it before your lesson at the hang gliding office.) Bringing Your Own Camera It’s very affordable if you pre-purchase it, at just $29 plus tax. Kitty Hawk Kites offers some additional add-on options, including a film and photo package. Buying the Kitty Hawk Kites Photo Package Then you get your second turn and it starts at the beginning again. (In other words, there are three gliders, with five people per glider.) Person A flies, then person B has his or her turn, person C, etc. You rotate your five flies on a single glider. Groups are broken down into five people and each group gets a glider. It was a great day-date idea for us as a couple and we thought it was a very reasonable cost for the experience.Įach person gets five “flies.” There are typically 15 people in each lesson, with three total instructors, one of who is the main leader for the day. (The cost decreases slightly if you’re signing up a group of 3 or 4 people.)

The lessons for beginner hang gliding take place at Jockey’s Ridge State Park in Nags Head, North Carolina. And anyone can do it, especially if you sign up for an intro lesson to start. Hang gliding in the Outer Banks is such a cool experience.
