    Hang Gliding E1: Taking Your First Class

    I have always been afraid of hang gliding. Maybe because while growing up in Brazil in the 80s, it was common to hear tragic stories of hang gliders dying in "Pedra da Gavea", a famous cliff in Rio de Janeiro. But I found a way to take classes, get the training, and bypass my fears. And I loved it!
