WOF for paragliders

30 November and 1 Dec

Wings & Waves Loft in Bayswater

Please make an appointment asap! info@wingsandwaves.co.nz

More info on our web site http://www.wingsandwaves.co.nz/WOFs2011

Like every year, we invite all club members and their friends (even hangies) for some infamous Chili con Carne made by Reuben, some music and a catch up at our loft in Bayswater. We would love to see you all there, especially we since the annual social event at the Paeroas on Easter did not happen and due to not much flyable weather, we feel we have not seen much of each other. Time to catch up!

Please come by on Saturday, 11th June, from 6pm at the our loft in Bayswater! BYO drinks, we will make food.

Maybe NZ Herald journos need some upskilling....anyone know if that was a PG pilot or Kiter that crashed?

18 keen NZ competition pilots competed in the recent Canungra Cup in Australia which was also Round 1 for the NZ Nationals. With all the top Australian pilots there, our Wings & Waves Team on Gin Gliders won the Team trophy: Grant Middendorf, Evan Lamberton, Reuben Muir, Eva Walton and Derek Divers. Evan, Reuben and Eva are Auckland pilots, Derek and Middy are ex-AKL, now in Wanaka. More info and photos on www.wingsandwaves.co.nz/news

Made me laugh !

OK, all of you Auckland Club Computer Pilots, here's a challenge.

I recently competed in the pgSim Competition Event, French North Alps Open, and did pretty well even if I do say so myself.

(see the results: http://www.paraglidingearth.com/pgSimCompEvent/events.php?event=3 My id is "Tony Cowley")

Looks like I can fly a Simulation better than the real thing, go figure?

So here's the challenge.

There's a new comp starting next week, Flying In Greece.
