tandem hang gliding mount tamapais, california

serious adrenaline rush doing this! my buddy and master hang glider pilot teddy in control. email teddy at teddymack@hotmail.com if you want to tandem in the bay area. When he told me something didn't feel right with the glider I got pretty nervous, not much you can do tho once you are a few thousand feet from earth!! All worked out fine tho and was a smooth landing.

how long can you saty flying?

[jesse2006]

you can fly for a few hours if there is good ridge lift and thermals. we had some technical difficulties with the harness balance (eek) and made for a quick landing on the beach, otherwise you might stick around the hills get lift and get really high.

how far is that place from half moon bay?

[jesse2006]

it is about an hour from the golden gate bridge and you land on stinson beach. contact mission soaring if you want a tandem flight.

Flying is not as shaky as this video makes it look (most of the time!)

[jesse2006]

you are right the ride was pretty smooth i had the camera in my hand which was not resting on anything to keep it stable, this is the first time i've filmed from a hang glider and i can't wait to do more.

I was glad when the boring video ENDED

Wow :) I bet that was an amazing experience.

I meant to say I enjoyed the video, I just didn't want any novices who saw it getting the impression that flying consists of being shaken around all the time. It's mostly pretty smooth and wonderful, honest! The landing here seemed OK too, although not shown clearly because of the camera angle.
