Gang,

I'll be presenting the extraordinary sport of hang gliding to a bunch of interested, potential HG pilots on Thursday night, May 5th at 7PM. If you can make it, it'd be great to have you there. The more pilots that can share their experiences, the better.

Hope to see you there!

Are you going to set-up a glider in the store?

We could bring a TV + Laptop and play this video on it:

No, I won't be setting up a hang glider. Not enough room. But I will be setting up a screen and a projector! That's the next best thing.

Orion, thanks for letting me know about that video. I'm going to use it.

Hello Steve,

"Pura Vida Flying" is a great video.
I have a copy if you want to use it.

Marcus, how long does the movie run? Where do you live and how can I get to you?

Hello Steve,
Duration: 1 hour
I just watched the video again - it's been a while since I saw it.
It's not only HG! There is as much PG-coverage as there is HG-coverage. Also some Kite-surfing and Surfing. It's about three Pro's flying and having fun in Costa Rica.

I also have "Big Blue Sky" (78 min) - documentary on the beginnings of HG.

So, if you are still interested I am in
920 N Kings Rd #317 West Hollywood CA 90069

Thanks, Marcus. Those films would be too long for this intro presentation
I appreciate the offer though. Many thanks.

Many thanks to all who showed up to support the effort. The talk was lightly attended, but successful in that we made better friends with REI. It is possible that we will be able to give the presentation again at their other stores. Thanks again.
