Wow... looks like we chewed the same dirt.. I have a great picture of a
fixed wing glider trying to land on the cliffs. He just hung there for 10
minutes trying to set down without munching it. Every once in a while,
someone would attempt to return, fail, and smash into the side of the
cliffs.

What's better is the guy who jumps off the ramp expecting an updraft
that stopped, most times it's a sharp turn into the face and a tumble
down to the beach. I bet the tech has advanced big time since the 70's
80's with the triangle gliders.


We used to see people landing on the beach all the time. I always
thought it took more guts than I have to jump off a cliff. :-) Long climb
with a glider on your back!

It was a half day ordeal. And the view was nice.

Well it was a poor goat trail. That was a great place to Hang Glide.
The first time I ever tried it was at Black's beach. They had an old
wood ramp off the cliff. I got to far away from the cliff and had to
pack the glider back to the top. But hey I landed on the beach.
