Hawaii PG Association's President, Alex Colby, on his new glider:

"I officially love my new wing! Only took three flying days to know for sure - including yesterday's gift of a flyable afternoon at Kahana during an unexpected break in the strong winds.

With a hard act to follow in the Mustang2, Airwave has officially released their new 9+:1 gliding Cobra.

The weather forecast for the second last day was looking pretty windy up high; reports from Mammoth and the White Mountain Research Station were reporting 20-30 mph in the morning, with it predicted to increase. So the call was made to cancel the day without even going up the mountain.

Back up to Gunter launch. Skies were nice looking with cu's but there was some wind in them. On launch the task committee decided on a short-ish task of 64 km, out-and-return, ending in Benton (at the California/Nevada border). The winds picked up just as the wind-techs launched and it was pretty clear it was windy, as they were pinned against the mountain and not penetrating to the valley, let alone get any thermals. One of them radioed back saying it was "sporty" and we saw lots of collapses so the day was cancelled (the wind-techs certainly earned their keep today!).

oday we went up to Gunter and things were not too bad wind-wise. South winds again but manageable, and the task was 110 km to Mina, in Nevada. Launched early and had to scratch around for a long time as the lift was a bit spotty, but I would rather do that than be stuck on launch in a big lineup while the cycles were getting stronger and stronger.

The last 2 days we've had the task cancelled shortly after the launch window opened. The first day was due to too-strong winds on launch (Flynn's) so most of the field couldn't get off (I had just launched and it was getting strong, but still manageable). After about 10 minutes the call came over the radio that the task was cancelled (a 110 km task downwind) so we all headed out to land.
