FREE Monthly glider event in San Diego

[Nitro Blast]

The San Diego Electroglide has been going on for several years, and it still amazes me how few people know about it. The numbers are slowly rising, as the 'entry costs' are pretty darn low (a cheap foamy glider is all you need, but you can bring anything for open class)

If you are in the so-Cal area, check it out, come on down, and glide FOR FREE. There is no cost to participate, and its a super fun time with low stress competition.

Click the link for more info, and come on down and fly!

Ahh..... if you live in San Diego, and have a glider, you need to come play our game!

So wonderful yesterday, we all were getting crazy thermals and diving like a predator at 9 minutes to beat the 10 minute horn!

Anything not in the two factory classes fits in open.
