  • J,

    Great question. It is easier to boat-tow (surface tow).  The glider will naturally seek a trim pitch, leaving the pilot (student) to focus on roll control instead of both pitch and roll, as in aero-tow.

    You may want to contact Gregg Ludwig with LakeshoreHG in Houston, TX. He provides boat-tow instruction with a focus on training new pilots.

    Alternatively AwesomeFlights HG and Paradise HG, both in FL, offer boat-tow hang gliding.

    Good Luck, and Fly Safe!

  • Is it much harder to tow behind a boat then normal Aero Tow? I ask because I live in Kansas where there aren't a lot of flying opportunities and would be interested in learning how to do that.
