Superfly Clinic - Vegas

Post by Spark »

Spent last week towing on the Jean Dry Lake, south of Vegas.

Conditions were ideal. Chris S is an awesome instructor. I learned a few things, got to soar a few times and met a bunch of great people. Temperatures were nice and warm. I did some high wind kiting and some high wind flying. I was wearing a helmet and used it. :shock:

Got some nice helmet-cam video too.

Swapped some PG gear for a Peter Lynn 16m inflatable kite for kiteskiing, and some new Volkl skis. New toys are fun ... this kiteskiing thing seems kiinda serious ... it may require some focused attention :wink:

Coincidentally, Betty was holding a reserve clinic in Vegas on the weekend, so I got to visit with her for awhile and see some old friends.

... good times.

It will snow again here soon.

More later ...

Hey, Allen! Thanks for the call last week. I have work travel to Albuquerque in February. Think there's any sense in trying to fly (HG or PG - it would be difficult to bring both harnesses) or should I just go skiing? - Hugh
