OC619,
Thanks for posting that. It brought back happy memories of a gliding holiday there in the mid 60's. First bungee launch was in a 50 kt wind in a Capstan. On the second go, I hadn't noticed that the wind had moderated a bit and I came in much too fast. My instructor closed the brakes and we did a touch and go back into the hill lift. The third launch was solo in a Swallow, straight into my one and only experience of wave soaring, sadly too short as it was getting dark.
