Driving up the coast, we made a turn a little early. It looked interesting with lots of cars parked, so we decided to explore where it went and what was happening. The destination was awesome: The Torrey Pines Gliderport. Watching two gliders swoop over the ocean was breathtaking. Then we met two ladies who suggested the most “awesome experience” was to climb the small platform over the ocean and high-five the gliders.
We made our way over to the area and two of our group climbed the platform and waited. The gliders were off to the south and didn’t appear to be coming back. They relinquished their post. We watched a little longer and the gliders appeared to be coming back north. This time Papa and I took a turn on the platform. And we were rewarded! The video above shows the magical moment.
The only thing to top this experience would be to actually do a tandem glide. Ah yes, definitely need to consider that!
