Hang Gliding - Cruising Torrey Pines in La Jolla California.
This was the first experiment with a video camera on the end of a boom. The boom was too flimsy and the video was very bouncy, but still some good shots.

Looks fake, but I believe it.

Where can I get a good cheap hanglider for beginners thats safe? I really want to take this up but all the hangliders are pretty exspensive.

@speedgliding Thanks for the reply. I've never used a hang glider, this video was my first experience with it in general... and I got the impression that the guy's body (your?) was responsible for doing the maneuvering more than anything else, and if one were to let go of the bar, that you'd start rolling and loose control. :D
This looks like something extremely fun and inner peace defining! Next time I move to a new city, I will apply for jobs FIRST in places where this is possible!

THis looks amazing. I wish I could someday do this as a hobby.
I do have one question though, what would happen if you are in a situation as the guy in this video and while cruising like superman you accidentally let go of the bar?

@theartofbone - nothing would happen. The bar is the steering wheel. You would simply be left hanging from the apex of the glider in your harness.

what was the purpos of the whistle?

The paragliders dont pay attention at that flying site, and often turn in front of you without looking. You need to get their attention.
