The sand dunes are some of the tallest on the east coast, combining launch sites with strong east winds, creating optimal conditions for hang gliding.

The first time I went to Jockey's Ridge was 11 years ago when I was pregnant with my son. I probably spent 2 hours walking around and loved it.

Hang Gliding Spectacular 2013
A short clip of the flights, fun and community of our annual hang gliding gathering in Nags Head, North Carolina.
Beginner Hang Gliding at Jockey's Ridge Outer Banks NC
Video of a beginner hang gliding class at Jockey's Ridge, NC. This video shows what to expect on your first hang gliding flights. The instructers are good and the hang gliding is safe and lots of fun for young kids to older adults.
Beginner hang gliding lessons start with an hour long classroom instruction followed by two hours of hang gliding on the dunes. Each person gets five flights spaced over a pleasant two hour timeframe. The instructors ensure that the gliders do not get away from the student (and they carry the glider back up the dune).
The dunes are also a lot of fun to play on. See my other video Family Dune Jumping at Jockey's Ridge Outer Banks NC.

Around the Outer Banks, NC
This is a video of my recent road trip to Nags Head, N.C. It includes the area sights, including Jockey Ridge State Park which is home to Kitty Hawk Kites, a hang gliding school. I took some ground launch hang gliding classes and actually landed on my feet a few times...but if you don't land on your feet, the dunes are a soft landing.
