Windy
It is known as Hang gliding. It is when you are on a big "kite" and there is a bar you can hold on to. You basically jump off a mountain or something, and the wind carries you around.
"Catch the Wind, Embrace the Sky!" This slogan captures the thrill of hang gliding, emphasizing the freedom and exhilaration of soaring through the air. It invites adventure seekers to experience the beauty of flight and the connection with nature.
The average hang gliding distance can vary depending on factors such as wind conditions, pilot skill level, and terrain. On average, recreational hang glider flights can cover distances ranging from a few kilometers to over 100 kilometers in favorable conditions. Competitive hang gliders can fly much longer distances, with some covering hundreds of kilometers in a single flight.

Hang Your Dog in the Wind was created in 1997.
The primary purpose of hang gliders is to enable human flight by harnessing wind and air currents for soaring. They provide a simple and accessible way for enthusiasts to experience flight, allowing pilots to glide from heights and navigate through the air using control surfaces. Hang gliding also serves recreational and competitive purposes, offering a unique perspective of the landscape and the thrill of flight.

Sailing is a sport that requires the changing of the rigging and rudder on a boat to change the direction and speed of the boat. The boat is moved by wind against the sails.
Hang gliding landing zones should be flat, open areas free of obstacles such as trees, power lines, and buildings. The surface should be soft, ideally grass or a similar material, to minimize injury upon landing. It’s important to ensure that the landing zone is large enough to accommodate various landing approaches and that the area is clear of spectators or other hazards. Pilots should also be aware of wind direction and patterns when selecting a landing site.
Wind primairly affects a parachute at landing causing turbulance, and where ground speed becomes a factor. If flying a ram air parachute with the wind, your ground speed will be wind speed + canopy speed, so not a good configuration to land. Also, wind causes turbulance, which can collapse a canopy.
