How do you get tandems in the air?

We use our state of the art high-powered winch to tow us up. The winch is designed specifically to tow hang gliders. It's how we tow up the tandem flights as well as how our students pilots get in the air for high flights, and it is the safest method of launching a hang glider. The rapid climb it creates is also very exhilarating!

You take about a 10 minute tow up to about 1500' above the ground where you then release the line and you are free! The ride up is as fun as the ride down. The flight is then about 10 minutes or so before you are back on terra-firma.

You don't even land or launch on your feet! You use the hang glider's wheels to roll in so you don't even have to worry about stumbling on landing!
