E komo mai, let’s go fly!
Hire a local instructor to have peace of mind and explore oahu’s flying sites safely.
If you are already a Certified Pilot, the Hawaii Paragliding Association ( HPA – www.windlines.net) asks you to be a current USHPA member holding a P-2 or higher rating and to sign the HPA waiver ( http://files.windlines.net/documents/waiver.pdf ). Our Certified Instructors/Observers can issue you a 30 day membership to USHPA if you carry an International License and help you with all the paperwork required to fly here. If you are interested, we can arrange a certification clinic and get you USHPA certified!
The advantages of hiring an instructor on your next PG trip to Hawai’i are:
- “Chase” less, fly more
- In depth site introduction so you will feel comfortable to fly the rest of your trip or on the next one
- Dedicated eyes and ears on YOU, to increase safety and enjoyment of your flight
- Radios with charged batteries so you can communicate with Instructors, other pilots and your family members on land
- We will work in your schedule (you won’t be by yourself or waiting on a local pilot to fly)
- Access to wind sensors (without paying for the membership yourself) and knowledge of local weather patterns
- Cooler with cold beverages provided
P-2 and P-3 prices: $200 for the first 4 hours of instruction (minimum) and $25 per hour thereafter. This is YOUR 4 hours. We recommend using the first hour for ground handling (Kiting), the next 2 hours to site intro, getting to launch and in the air and the last hour to fly, land and debrief. If you feel you need a little more, let our instructors take you to the air and SHOW you where to and not to go, how to approach for landing and for more support, you can add a tandem instructional flight for $100 (highly recommended for new P-2’s / hourly rates still apply).
P-4 prices: $100 for the first 2 hours of instruction (minimum) and $25 per hour thereafter. Sorry, no kiting included, but available as the same P-2 and P-3 prices.
Multiple days, shuttle services and group packages available.
