In the 1974 timeframe, the Funston training bowl was a hot spot for learning how to fly. The gliders has less L/D and the possibility for a surf landing was remote. Today the training bowl is still open, however, extreme caution must be used to insure you TURN! If you don't turn you can land in the surf and die.
