You
can reach the United States Hang Gliding
Association.
Otherwise,
you may go back home.
San Luis Obispo county, on the Central
Coast of CA, has many excellent flying sites for experienced pilots. Consistant
Spring and Fall coastal soaring can be had from a 700 foot hill overlooking
the town of Cayucos, and Estero Bay. Gazing south, majestic Morro Rock
invites the dreams of many pilots with its gravity defying updrafts. Beyond
the Rock is Montaña De Oro State Beach. Miles of sandy beaches and
a steep cliff face truly provides a place for hang glider and paraglider
pilots to remove themeselves from the daily grind.
