The United States Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association's mission is to ensure the future of free flight. We encourage all those who wish to fly, whether it be hang gliders, paragliders, or speedwings, to join the USHPA as members, because together we can ensure the flying we enjoy today will be around tomorrow.

Learn to hang glide, paraglide or speedfly, achieve a rating, donate to our cause, fly with a tandem pilot, or teach others. Through certifications, information resources, specially negotiated insurance, competition sanctioning, partnerships with the FAA, FAI, NAA, and more - USHPA remains America's only nationally recognized free-flight governing body of these sports.

We'll see you in the sky!
