Hang gliding
Did you know that people can soar and float in the wind?Well,they can.They use hang gliders.Hang gliders are like large kites.
The person who rides a hang glider is called a pilot.The pilot holds on to the hang glider and runs down a hill.The hang glider lifts off into the air.The pilot rides in a seat under the glider.
In the air,the pilot uses a control stick to steer the glider up,down,and from side to side.The pilot tries to find a thermal.A thermal is a wave of rising hot air.The rising hot air keeps the glider up.Mountain areas are good places to find thermals.
Hawaii is one good place to go hang gliding.The winds are strong,and there are good thermals.One pilot was able to hang glide in the air for over 12 hours!
