Torrey Pines Gliderport: La Jolla Tandem Hang Gliding Flights

A tandem hang gliding flight at the Torrey Pines Gliderport is a phenomenal experience. Torrey Pines Gliderport is widely known as the birthplace of hang gliding and has been instrumental in the development of the Southern California hang gliding community. Tandem flights are conducted almost daily during the Spring and Summer months. During the Fall and Winter, winds tend to be lighter and paragliding is the better option for tandem flying.

Basic Facts:

• Uses a rigid airframe with a soft wing.
• Can fly in stronger wind conditions than paragliders.
• Pilot and passenger are in a prone flying position (like superman).
• Weight limits based on structural integrity of the airframe.  Generally not available for passengers over 180 lb.
