Sylmar Hang Gliding Association

Been a few years since I stopped by, but it's good to see the forum (the "new forum") still going strong. And the thermals, too.

I went from flying back to sailboats. Same attached flow, same big battens, and if you stall you stop (although you don't fall).

The longest anybody flew while I was a member was Stebbins, up Owens Valley and back, for the record. Have to stop flying when the sun goes down.

Not so on a boat. I put in 6,000 miles in 48 days, alone to Hawaii and back.

Cheers to you all!

Thanks Christian,

Your video took me right along and made me wish I could "be like you".

That's awesome!

I saw this on Reddit like 2 years ago. Didn't know u were a sylmartian. Thelonious is an awesome video.

Well done. Enjoyed the video. And the Marian McPartland.
I find Monk to be like bleu cheese, great stuff but one bite too much and you barf.

I thought Thelonious was a word play on 'The Loneliest'.
It was so windy that it 'blew cheese'. Smooth sailing from a cool brie's.
