Re: Bridge Swoop
Larry,
Congrats on your great flight on Monday from the Pulpit, and thanks for the link to the "Bridge Swoop" video. Wolfgang Siess, an Austrian pilot sponsored by Wills Wing, pulls of an impressive feat. Who knew how far he could carry such speed in ground effect, even with a WW topless - while dragging a foot, and sometimes a hand, in the water. Hopefully this and his stated future activities will give WW a boost in Europe.

That was amazing! Crazy ground effect! You can't do that in a paraglider!
