Torrey Pines Hang Gliding 1975 and 1976

Glad that you all enjoyed the Torrey video. It was a great time for me too. I am just a guy from London, Canada who drove twice for the World Open comps near San Diego and am still flying since 1968 first with flat kites and in 1972 my first Moyes Delta Wing Hang glider.

Those were good times. I enjoyed being there and being part of it. I’m the guy that lived in the camper on an old orange Dodge pickup. Cal Gliders rule…Windgypsy MKIV now that’s (was) high performance!

I learned (nobody taught me) how to fly in 69, the summer of love. I have survived 42 years of flying and I am still flying today... What a long strange trip it's been...

Peace man

Great video. Thank you. I've never been hang gliding but I so enjoyed watching this. I'm just a 40 year San Diego resident who has spent so many good times there at Torrey Pines. Might even be a tear in the old eyes...

Great footage. Capturing the transitions many manufacturers were involved in creating something other than the standard rogollo. I have always loved this genertion of gliders for their aesthetic appeal. Looked like a great day!
