Et il n'y a pas de meilleur endroit pour apprendre ce sport de levage sur le sable doux de Jockey's Ridge. Plus de 10 000 personnes ont appris à accrocher le long de la dune, des pentes douces, explique Nancy McWilliams de Kitty Hawk kites, la plus grande école de deltaplane. McWilliams affirme que le haut-flying school a enseigné aux gens qui sont âgés de 8 à 80 ans. Mais il y a une prise. Vous devez peser entre 85 et 220 livres, McWilliams dit. À prendre

And there's no better place to learn this air-lifting sport than on the soft sands of Jockey's Ridge. More than 10, 000 people have learned to hang glide along the dune's gentle slopes, says Nancy McWilliams of Kitty Hawk Kites, the nation's largest hang gliding school. McWilliams says the high-flying school has taught people who range in age from 8 to 80 years old. But there's one catch. You must weigh between 85 and 220 pounds, McWilliams says. To take a beginner hang gliding lesson on the East Coast's largest sand dune will cost $59 for three hours of instruction. Classes are taught year-round, and McWilliams says each class member will complete five short flights. But don't think for a moment that beginners glide from the crest of the 150-foot tall dune. McWilliams says such heights are reserved for experi- enced hang gliders. sea kayaking — Capitalizing on the 1990s ecotourism trend of going back to nature, sea kayaking takes the kayak out of white water and plunks it down in the rolling sea. Here, people can paddle along at a leisurely pace and enjoy the beauty of the coast, says Buxton, also an owner in Kitty Hawk Kayaks. "Sea kayaking is to white-water kayaking what downhill skiing is to cross-country skiing, " Buxton says. "There's more emphasis on endur- ance rather than speed." Buxton compares sea kayaking to backpacking on the water. It allows you to explore remote areas such as the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge or Portsmouth Island and experience nature at close range. Through Kitty Hawk Kayaks, Buxton teaches classes and offers guided tours of several natural areas along the Outer Banks. diving — North Carolina's offshore waters are a wreck... after.
