Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below 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!
hang gliding lesson or parasailing - better present?

Hmmmm, do u think he'd have a preference?
Buy him a fleshlight and come visit me.

As far as I know, he's never done either, but both would have appeal for him....he's very much like me in that he has a good sense of adventure and loves the adrenaline rush. I don't know enough about either to know which one would give a bigger jolt. Probably the 2000ft hang gliding, but again our schedule is kind of flux on friday (the only day next weekend with times available that we won't be diving), so it would be hard to schedule something solid in.

Hmmmmm, yeah the tandem thing would be best, but if its not doable, I wouldnt force it, cuz then ya'll might not enjoy it as much anyways.......
Is he more of an ocean guy or a sand/beach guy?

See......personally, being above the water for 12 minutes with the view and all would be far more pleasurable for me than the hang gliding. Thats just my opinion.

My friend broke his finger and was drug 200 yards through some sticker bushes while doing a tandem parasail lesson. I would say that sounds fun!

But the tandem aspect of the hang gliding, if that was feasible, would be incredibly appealing too......

Parasailing is a yawn. It's fun for a couple minutes then, your just hanging there. I guess it's something to do once or twice in your life, and if your afraid of heights then I'm sure it's exhilarating.

Be careful though, are you prepared for him to become addicted and attempt to take up hang gliding as a hobby?

This is how I'm leaning right now...I'm just trying to figure out now how to make sure we get down there in time for him to do it. And if he got addicted, I'd be thrilled by the fact that I had been the one to introduce him to it.
