Your adventure begins on the Santa Monica Pier, where you’ll join a team of expert instructors for an immersive ground school session. You’ll be fitted with a safety belt, learn the basic rules, and practice proper landing, take-off, and dangling techniques. Then, it’s time to fly.

Plus, they’ll provide personalized tips and tricks throughout your session, ensuring you make the most of every swing.
