sloping is fun, but there is nothing like thermaling on a dead still day, looking up at the sky in lawn chairs with some of your best pals... great times, can't wait till summer!

For a nice relaxing day, I love to get out and test the skills of man over gravity. There is nothing better than getting a long flight relying on nothing but rising air and gravity to provide all the energy required for an extended period of time.
