Looks awesome! Where is this? Looks like a very clean air I would expect some turbulenece as a wind hits the dunes. Now this is wind tunnel for canopy pilots Blush jelous jelous jelous

I suspect it's on the island of Texel NL, or maybe the Dutch mainland North Sea coast. I recognise the names, not the place.

Yep this is what it's all about, I flew my Bobcat 16.5m in a 15mph wind for 90 mins on the beach the other day off a similar 80' hill, FOR FREEE!! GL specific gear makes this stuff 10x easier, I hear Point of the Mountain Utah and Sun Valley ID are the best places in the States to get some.

Nice man, if you look at the location we are soaring, what kind of GL gear/size would you recommend for a 160 pound guy like me?

I like speed and want to be able to fly in 30+ mph winds as well as lower winds.

Nice. I've soared my Stiletto going about 50 feet above the launch point down 50 feet below, and back up. Also soared back and forth like you were doing and did that until I got tired and let it fly down. It was a VERY long flight down a 600 foot hill.

It's a great canopy.
