This is the official page for the United States Hang Gliding & Paragliding Association (USHPA). Since 1973, the non-profit organization has sanctioned chapters around the country who support flying sites and work to protect access to public lands for recreational use. USHPA also sanctions competitions and events to build awareness of the sport while administering the 10,000 member pilots
