A strong SE blowing into Budgewoi Beach brought out the dune gooners and the Airborne Fun 190s. Coincidentally we all have very similar glider colours.
Just as the camera battery went flat the local sea eagle came and flew with me for a good 15mins - was an amazing day!

  • @rentatrip1 hi rentatrip1...it was a pretty fantastic day. Budgie, as we like to call it, is a fantastic site for hang gliders. These guys really are masters at it and are like one with their wing, is pretty amazing to see. im glad you enjoyed it as much as i did. thanks for posting :-)

  • sort of beah i have in my dreams, You luck lot, cheers Pete

  • @pepersorte hey Pete - it is a great beach for flying - miles of sand and perfect wind for the gliders

  • nice video, looks like a "fun" place to fly

  • @donliddard hi Donliddard - Budgewoi is a great beach, miles long and high enough to get plenty of altitude, an eagle came and flew right below me one trip. A 'fun' place to have some fun with the Fun190s :-) thanks for posting!

  • Looks like a great place to fly mate. I have to do some gooning some time next season. :-) Tell me, did I imagine it or did you only have one leg loop on that day?

  • @Davospace1 Budgewoi is a great place to fly - definitely two leg loops in - they are very loose and not so comfortable so recently I've got myself a custom made one from a bloke who makes great gear up towards the northern beaches - can't wait to try it out!

see all

  • All look to be enjoying life flying like a bird hovering on that post landing and stepping off and going for more...Thanks Nice video!!

  • Great flying Cheers, Pete

  • @MrAndrew1101 It looks like a great place mate. Venus Bay is much closer to home than Budgewoi so I reckon I might have a go there first. Good luck with the new gear (:-))>
