Good ole Spring

June 24th, 2008

Sunday saw us head to Spring for some ridge soaring action. The drift on the clouds was reasonably strong from the SSE but on the deck it stayed west all day?!? It’s got me buggered.

Dave took the opportunity to fly the Airborne C4 13.5 demo. The extra glide of the new model was immediately apparent and we will be ordering our new gliders for next comp season very soon.

In the meantime Ricky Duncan has put a special price on the 13.5 pictured. It’s the nicest glider I’ve flown so I’m sure who ever snaps it up will be stoked.
