Each student will receive a helmet and harness, which they will carry out to the sand dunes. After gearing up, the entire class will walk out to Jockey's Ridge for the flight portion of your lesson.

Once we have completed each student's flights, we will all return to the Hang Gliding School to wrap up and review what you've learned during your lesson.
