That was very exciting. When you crossed the dirty gap that first shoulder you should of hugged more. The over corrections made it look like turbulent air. At one point you oscillate towards the dune at a very scary angle. That with flying over the surf and a very challenging cross wind landing made for great video. Thanks for sharing.
Those last 5 seconds raised my pulse... ;-) It's a kingposted glider, right ? Anyway, lovely scenery. I drove past there last year and thought to myself: one day. :-) Happy landings mate
Yes, mine too. Seemed to happen a lot faster than the video shows. Yeah, a LiteSport (high performance king posted). Hope you can make it out! It's a beautiful and unique place to fly.
Nice save there! I hope you were able to hike up and relaunch, instead of having to walk all the way back! I need to make it up there and fly Marina, then head to Funston!
Thanks...there is a relaunch right where I landed but the wind seemed pretty light so I carried the glider back anyway. Later on that day it got way better. Now's about the right time I think; the past four days have been good at Funston. I don't think Marina is quite as consistent but it sure can be interesting!

Coastal sites are so cool.

Greetings from Hyner View, PA.☺
Wholly hell!!! That was a bit of a risk to go there to begin with, but I didn't expect that kind of rough air on landing. Glad it ended well.
Good thing you had the time to sort it out and get landed out of the water.
Loving these new videos Andy! Looks like you found some pretty interesting places to fly. Is that a new Moyes?
Thanks Steve! No, not new, but the friend I got it from kept it really nice. Lots of PGs fly Marina too you know...
What are the two large round objects below ground level that you flew past? Enjoyed the vid.
Nice job saving that landing,
Yeah it was a squeaker for sure.
Wow!
Is this a 'new technique' 🤔 lol
Yes!
