Central Coast Sky Surfers
DESCRIPTION
Our club supports active participation and safety in the sports of Paragliding and Hang Gliding on the Central Coast.
Both sports involve foot launching a lightweight aircraft from a hilltop or lookout and riding the air currents to fly for as long as one wishes and that the conditions are suitable for.
A Paraglider is a lightweight aerofoil similar in some ways to a kiteboard kite or a parachute with a sit in harness suspended underneath.
A Hang Glider is triangular with a lightweight frame and a fabric covering with a prone position harness suspended underneath.
Both are easy sports to enter with around eight days of initial training and a low-cost entry for an aviation sport.
ACTIVITIES OFFERED
Our club supports pilots with mentoring, safety briefings, regular events, equipment advice, site maintenance, competition information, participation, fun and camaraderie.
We have three members who are instructors and many senior advanced pilots who are there to help with any questions you may have about our sport.
