Hang Gliding

‘There’s no sensation to compare with this, suspended animation, a state of Bliss!’ – David Gilmour’s soulful ballad epitomized man’s ever-present urge to glide through the winds, exploring, unchained and visibly free. That’s what a Hang-glider experiences every time he lets himself go with the flow.

Hang gliding, since its inception in the 1970s, has developed into a practical and relatively safe sport, using simple yet sophisticated machinery built of aluminium, carbon-fibre and high-tech sail fabrics. Hang glider pilots, suspended from their gliders by a special harness, launch from hills facing into wind, with the objective of always staying airborne in lifting currents of air.
