I hate giving cliche presents...so since the man's birthday is a couple of days after we go to hatteras, I was thinking of one of the two above for while we are at the beach. I've never done either and i'm looking for input from anyone who has done either one on whether or not it's actually any fun. The hang gliding would only be off the dunes (which are like a hundred or so feet high, mind you), but it would involve five "solo" flights and a three hour lesson. The parasailing would be 900 feet high, but only last 12 minutes (plus a quick "ground" lesson). Opinions appreciated!
