Hang Gliding

Is Hang Gliding or Paragliding more comfortable?
Hi Guys
I was just wondering if anyone has tried both and if so which is more comfortable, I'm trying to choose between the two and would be more tempted to go with the one which offers more comfort as I would probably want to spend about 2 hours in the air without getting back ache!.
Thanks ![]()
Edit - Also is Hang Gliding relatively comfortable, the position of hang gliding attracts me so as long as its not too uncomfortable that may be the better option for me.
I found paragliding to be very comfortable, quiet, and really enjoyable for sight seeing. For and extended flight, that is the choice i would make.

Hang gliding 7.27.09 South Side
I am interested in hang gliding. Want to know more about it.?
I am interested in trying hang gliding and want to know more about it. Is it cheap? How expert do you have to be to fly alone, and are lessons expensive? Is there a good place to hang glide in Minnesota?
I myself have been checking out the sport, I live in Washington State.
As far as flying goes, hang gliding is not that expensive. I'm licensed to fly airplanes and that was damn expensive. I wouldn't say that hang gliding is cheap, but the equipment doesn't appear to be as much as I initially thought. Once you get beyond a Hang 1 certification, you'll typically need:
- harness
- helmet
- kite (glider/wing)
- rack to transport the kite
- any other add-on equipment you'd like
There are no requirements for licensing in hang gliding, however the United States Hang Gliding Association does require their own certification, staring with the Hang 1. Most hang gliding locations won't allow you fly at their sites without being certified by the USHGA.
From what I can tell, the Hang 1 means that you understand and are able to maintain basic control of a glider and can land. This does not mean you can launch off of a mountain site. Most of the Hang 1 & 2 certs are done on bunny slopes and this is where you'll be certified to fly. The Hang 3 and above are about soaring and higher launches.
I haven't seen any good sites in Minnesota but that doesn't mean that they aren't there. There are plenty out by me and i've seen a few in Montana which is closer to you.
