Erika, that looks like so much fun! I recognize the Wills Wing logo, but which model is it? It seems easy to fly. This is really a fun video to watch. Thanks!
Thanks! This is a Condor 330 training glider. It’s designed to be easy to fly but it can’t be flown at high altitudes and is really only good for specific sites like this one 🙂 it was replaced by the Alpha 235 which can be flown in the mountains
I am over 50. But I really want to try this . There is a spot in my home town that I always thought would be the perfect take off place. & I've never seen anyone do this in my life. Anyway when I was about 15 or 16 on my way up to hike up Tillamook head trail. On the road going up. There is a spot that probably has a house on it now. But the ground was flat and clear and about a 30yrd by 30 yard area that was on about a 150yrd drop off over the Ocean. I thought it looked like a good spot for that.
This looks like the a glider we used to teach with, called a Hiway Stubby. If we were teaching at the top of the hill and it was windy enough, we used to rig them at the bottom and fly them up to the top, taking off from a low bump on the hill and floating up a couple of hundred feet.
Great video! That looks so relaxing. You'll get even higher in a faster wing (mansplaining). Lift increases with velocity. Even at a higher wing loading. It took me Forever to finally come to grips with that. But I do love a floater. There's my two cents, you probably already knew :P
Haha no worries! We fly smaller/faster gliders when we have the wind for it, but we usually don’t here. It’s fun flying all of them but I have to say the 330 is my favorite
Looks wonderful, but I’d be paranoid that the wind would lift me _WAAAYY_ higher than I’d want to go, and I’d end up caught in some high-tension wires.
@@erikajklein is it possible to build your own... I'm an American living in Delicias Chihuahua Mexico..and don't have much capital. What material is the actual glider made of... thanks
@@AquilesEsquivelMadrazo-z8v it’s possible but super dangerous. We only fly certified gliders and you shouldn’t try it without training. There are places to learn in Mexico though, and used gear can be affordable
I'd love to do that again. Would you like a pod harness? I have one that that was never used that I'd sell for super cheap. Good for a person about 5' 7" plus or minus.
Thanks! I actually got my own custom pod a few months ago as it was very hard to find a used one in my size; the one you have might’ve been close 🙂 it shouldn’t be hard to sell and there are several hang gliding gear groups on Facebook where you can list it 🙂
You keep popping up on my reels. You actually have me wanting to do this here in Florida on the beach. How long have you been doing this and how did you start. ?
Sorry I missed this! I started right here at this beach in LA. Start with basic hang gliding lessons (there are several schools in Florida) and once you know how to launch, fly, and land the glider, you can work on dune flying like this 🙂 definitely get instruction though for safety!
I think it would be SO much fun to do! AND a question? What are those tires on your handlebar for? (isn't that extra weight?) Healthy and friendly greetings from the Netherlands! Rob
This is mainly a training glider and the wheels are for our students in case they fall over while landing, the wheels will catch them. The extra weight doesn’t really matter 🙂
@@erikajklein okay thanks for replying! You guys are spoiled there, you just can't do all that here. Very nice, I wish you all the best from here! healthy and friendly greetings from Rotterdam location! RadioRob
I know that you was in mexico, at valle de bravo , but I don´t know if you did the same in other oart of mexico like playa del carmen or cancun or tulum? greeting from toluca mexico.
I felt sacrifice tudung, god vatican sancta and holy, using it. I called it unicorn wings of harry potter's. Erika your beautiful, miss. I wish to come to your place, California, America.
Erica, your red/purple lips and splotchy anemia indicate significant zinc deficiency, in which case you'll probably have associated insomnia and anxiety problems. 😮
I'll check back for the answer. Can someone tell me what brand and model that hang glider that is. And, where can I get/purchase one? THANKS! P.S. I love watching these videos!
You can get one through a hang gliding school 🙂 This model is an older training glider and not recommended for most sites. It’s been replaced by the Wills Wing Alpha 235
Love your flying at Dockweiler! I'm glad this historic site remains open after 50 years of continuous use.
Me too! 😍
Perfect place to teach cus you guys sure do make it look easier than chewing bubblegum.

Am in India
How to buy , transporte
How to pay please send details.
Am very intrest to fly . Am in chennai (marin beach)
Playing with the wind and flying, it must be a dreamlike feeling.
Probably feels like hanging
@@kirkquialquial2399 😂
Anyone else came here because of the RUclips short😂😂
Yesss😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hey it worked 😅
Yes ended hehehehe
Me!!
Awesome start to the year!!
I think that’s gotta be the most hovering like a bird that I’ve ever seen. I like it.

Do you guys give lessons?..and training program for beginners?@erikajklein
@@gillnaga1 yes we do! www.windsports.com 🙂
Looks like fun, I'd love to try that type of soaring someday!
It’s my favorite 😍
Better not be the skin type.😂😂😂😂
Wow epic video, I really enjoyed that!
Thanks, I’m glad!
Happy 4th July
Loved your edit!!!
Thanks! 😍
Good luck, Erika. I love this sport. I hope to have an opportunity like this🇩🇿❤
Looks like a blast ! Thanks for sharing.
I used to teach people to fly hang gliders there, more than 50 years ago. Great memories.
😢😢😢😢😢y
Very beautifull
Damn before planes?

That place is so much different than Sonora Wings.
Different in pretty much every way! But both are great and it’s all about the variety 🙂
❤
Hovering looks fun. I would love to have a go.
Adorei e seu canal... Vou aguardar mais vídeos...
Thank you! I’m working on some!
She taken floor is lava to a whole new level
it looks like one of the greatest human experiences one could ever have. Sooo good!
What the flip

@@erikajklein wow! That is a big bird. That makes perfect sense. I bet a floater like that is a blast! Keep those videos coming, awesome to watch :D
I can only imagine, that it feel like being a kite; but you become the kite with more trust in yourself ❤ ❤
Edit to add: By Beach! 🌊🏖️😘
Amazing piloting, I wish I could soar that well!
You’re almost there 😍
Здравствуйте
Как же это здорово.
А где вы находитесь, как можно у вас научится этому делу!?@@erikajklein
This is my favorite thing you've posted. I appreciate your more personal, vlog-style in this clip. 👍
Nice 👍🇦🇺
German ancestors? Is it the WW Condor? Thanks for your videos!
Yes to both!
Thank you very much ❤😊
Looks wonderful, but I’d be paranoid that the wind would lift me _WAAAYY_ higher than I’d want to go, and I’d end up caught in some high-tension wires.
We always wish to go higher haha but it can’t really happen here because it’s a low hill
I've had nightmares like that about hang gliding, and I'm a pilot 😂
1:37 1:37 Nice way to get introduced
Those dimples are awesome

I’m scared of heights but I think I could do this
My thoughts too...didn't realise low altitude stuff like this was a thing
This video is so good, it needs more views!
❤️❤️
Very nice!
Amazing skills.
Joe taught me to fly here once upon a time ago. Then Alternator in SB with James Garner
Looks like fun

@@erikajklein I promise to get training. My birthday is this weekend. Planning on taking my bus to Wallaby Ranch and fly :-)
@@steveg9691 have so much fun! And happy birthday! Say hi to them for me, Malcolm might remember me 😊
1998 de böyle birşey yapmıştım. Ama. Başarılı. Olamadım teknik. Bilgi. Yetersizliğinden. Böyle birşey yapmak istesek yardımcı olabilir misiniz ...
You seem to fly that site a lot,,, does the salt air mess up the airframe much??
I think it would be SO much fun to do!
AND a question?
What are those tires on your handlebar for?
(isn't that extra weight?)
Healthy and friendly greetings from the Netherlands!

@@hobbyrob313 we're definitely spoiled!! It's an amazing place
Seems like the answer to how do you stay up is, "I don't know."
The wind hits the ridge and is deflected upward. As long as we steer the glider so it stays within that rising air, we can stay up
Omg this looks so fun, I want to do it!!
Try a hang gliding lesson! 😍
Same to you
Você é tão fofa.

Soo cool.buatku itu hanya mimpi
Cool
Can I ask you some questions?
How do you get down if you want to?😅
Can I use this to go from Cuba to key West?
Where is this? I would love to go I live here in California 😅
Dockweiler beach near LAX. We teach lessons here too 😊
The feeling of being free about the world would be overwhelming in a good way …

How to make parachute at home
Wheres Joe G and Paul?
I thought you were gonna get up high and cruise around.
Erika mandame uno de esos pajaros para volarlo hawui en mis montanas😂😂😂😂
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🤍❤️👍🏻
There is nothing like hovering ! it's a shame so many pilots miss out on it
Agreed! 😍
So you don't fly around or go high, you just float around the same area? Cool, but I want to soar betweens mountains and over cliffs, not a factory.
We can do that too at other sites 🙂 this is a low altitude dune site
I felt sacrifice tudung, god vatican sancta and holy, using it. I called it unicorn wings of harry potter's.
Erika your beautiful, miss. I wish to come to your place, California, America.
Erica, your red/purple lips and splotchy anemia indicate significant zinc deficiency, in which case you'll probably have associated insomnia and anxiety problems. 😮
Appreciate the observation! 0 insomnia and I think I get a lot of zinc 😅
Who else came from the two hop take off. I know I did 😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
3:29 3:48 that looks just magical. Closest thing to levitation that hovering is. 🪄
I'll check back for the answer.
Can someone tell me what brand and model that hang glider that is. And, where can I get/purchase one?
