Congrats on coming back to the game. I read most of the posts, but I have to say one thing. Living that close to the coast and NOT doing a slope glider? You're killin me smalls!
I visited Monterey last year and driving North along the coast looking at all the dunes with the wind coming in. I was seriously jonesin for my glider.
Good luck with the madness, it is FAR FAR too much fun.
