HG / PG Comp : Tater Hill Open : July 26 - Aug 1, 2009
Posted: Wed Jun 10, 2009 12:14 am
Join us at the end of July for the 4th annual Tater Hill Open. A Paragliding and Hang
Gliding Competition in the beautiful mountains surrounding Boone, North Carolina.
This time of year offers an opportunity for some great cross country flights. Last year
we saw 40 and 50 mile Paragliding flights from Tater Hill during the first week in August.
The elevation at Tater is around 5000' ASL so it offers a unique chance for footlaunch
flying on the East Coast.
Competition scoring is handicapped so everyone has a chance to win. Our focus is on
newer and upcoming pilots who want to learn or improve their cross country skills.
A generous donation this year allows us to offer $1000 prize money with $500 going to
1st place, $300 to 2nd and $200 to 3rd place. Come join us in July in the beautiful
mountains of North Carolina.
