Hang gliding is my passion, and in 2006, I helped the U.S. Women's Hang Gliding Team win silver in the World Championships. An author, ultimate adventure lover, beach bunny and sand snob, I've visited almost every beach in Florida and can't wait to explore more. Join me as I flip-flop across the Sunshine State, sharing the softest sand, sweetest shores and a boatload of adventure.

Hang Gliding Movie: LaurenĂ¢Â€Â™s Office
August 04, 2010
When I say hang gliding can be magical, almost spiritual, I’m not exaggerating.
Watch this little slide show I made of tandem hang gliding at Quest Air Hang Gliding in Groveland – about an hour west of Orlando-- and you’ll know what I'm talking about.
I'm flying the glider, my passenger is a cute little 17 year old girl having the ride of her life, and Steve Monn is the talented photographer who shot the foootage from a plane chasing us. Yes, you need to see this.

Of course you can do it! Check out this article I wrote about hang gliding. It has lots more details. Also, check out this blog I wrote about hang gliding with contacts for various places you can go for a tandem flight in the Sunshine State.
This video was shot with my KODAK Zx1 Pocket Video Camera.
