I did not fly Torrey Pines for my first flight, but have flown there since. There is such magic in "the first flight". In an instant, you become one of a very small number of folks who enter the 3d dimension. It is something that most people will never understand. I have flown Torrey Pines and have flown with you, Topher. In each case, it was a privilege. This is a great video because it gives such a good sense of what our sport can be, but really, do it if you want to know.
Hey Thanks teaohar2! What a very nice way to put it! The first flight is truly magical, and changes us forever. I think it was Leonard Da Vinci who said "Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward. For there you have been, and there you will always long to return."
LunoSol Design you don’t really need to fly any tandems, though it can be helpful - its more a matter of learning to control the glider yourself while you’re on the ground, and learning some basic safety measures and flight planning skills. It can take as little as a few days if the glider control aspects come naturally.
Excellent job.. Happy Flying from UK ,Wales 🏴

Our fearless leader!!!!
HAHAH!!! True!!
Yay Cheyanne!
She's doing great!
Congratulations Cheyanne! You are officially avian. Thank you for sharing your joy and your love of birds and flight with the world!
It is very special to witness a pilots first solo flight! She did wonderfully!
Is that Max on the radio?
What equipment do you guys use so that you can follow the flight live?
That looks exhilarating! How long do the students train and fly tandem before they can take their first flight like Cheyanne?
It all depends on the conditions and the pilots abilities. If everything lines up well, you can have your first flight in a few days!
