Is the dramatic, dynamic red&black glider a Malibu or a Fun or something else? With the back lighting coming through the fabric, it looks electric; almost CGI.
Single surface gliders, we see them tracking diagonally with little pull-in and in one case one stops forward movement with a push out and climb - so wind speed is probably not to far from stall speed for the gliders at their flying weight - as little as 25km/h with light pilots and not much over 30 km/h if the pilots are at the max gross limit. Kinda makes you want to find a small hill with a large flat field upwind ... even a long berm might be enough ...
Great fun. what wind speed di you have ht day? i have just started hang gliding again dune after one long time off. found it was like riding a bike Cheers Pete

I'm also wondering what the wind speed was. We have tiny ridges around us but haven't tried them...expecting we need pretty strong winds to do this
