Wow beautiful view! I think I had never seen a video so high at Funston before. Could you possibly consider crossing to the right, over the bay entrance? Those hills look yummy. Was that LZ planned? Or at least did you know you had that option if you couldn't make it back to the beach?
Amazing flight! Hard to believe you could do that on a hang glider foot launched from Funston. How the heck did you get so high? Would it have been possible to get back to the coastline and fly the bluffs down to Funston? The approach and landing on the golf course was very cool, though. Was that a one-in-a-thousand (million?) kind of day out there?
If I could make it back to the coast on this one then I would have landed at Funston. Too much headwind. Occasionally people get up above the clouds like this. It's just the way the wind layers set up. The really big ones like this are rare. Generally everyone else misses out because they're misinterpreting the conditions, or a few experienced pilots see what's up but don't want to mess with it.
Fore! ⛳️ nice drive
Very beautiful, but at the end my a*s got tense 😬😆
hahahaha
you're my hero Dude!!!
Got a little too far back on that nice convergent air. Hope the golf course is good with emergency put down. Cool scenery.
They were cool with it, rolled up to mostly ask if everything was ok. That probably never happened before there. PGs never go that way.

The wind was too strong for me to penetrate north. I wasn't planning on the golf course at all.

At 3000' in that area wouldn't you be in the approach path of Rwy 10L and 10R of SFO or the departure path of Rwy of 28L or 28R?
@@JohnLitherland I wasn’t in the bravo
Whoa, how'd you get so high? That seems way higher than regular ridge lift... Did you find a thermal in all that wind?
yep must have been a thermal
