I have been living in and flying in New Zealand for the last thirteen weeks. There is a small very friendly hang gliding operation in the north of the South island in Nelson. Nelson Hang Glider Adventures.

Glenn Meadows and his girlfriend Justine run one of the best hang gliding schools I have ever visited. They are two of the nicest people I have ever met in the sport. The hang gliding in the Nelson area in fantastic and the locals very friendly and go out of their way to make visiting pilots feel welcomed.

Nelson hosted the resent New Zealand paragliding championships. Pilots can stay at the Paradiseo Hostel very cheaply, which has a pool, a barbeque and a great pub around the corner.
