Meet the Instructors
With a combined 200+ years of flying and teaching hang gliding, these Mission Soaring instructors are ready for you to experience hang gliding! You'd be hard-pressed to find a school anywhere with as much hang gliding wisdom and expertise.
What makes Tres Pinos such a great training site?
The wind is perfect for teaching hang gliding, that’s what! Tres Pinos is situated in a valley where the air is smooth with consistent, light winds that funnel straight up through the valley and curve up and over the gradual sloping training hills. Our training site has a landing area that is a mile long and half a mile wide.
