Che Golus sent us a note that he and Jason Turner have set a new Australian foot launch distance record (unofficial), flying the Delta 2 and Alpina 2. In Che’s words:

“I managed to set the Australian foot launched distance record (unofficial) the other day with my good friend Jason Turner. I was flying my Delta 2 and Jason was on his Alpina 2. We flew 356km from Mt Borah, Manilla, to beat Godfrey’s long standing site record and also set the Australian record. The flight was made as part of the XC Camp which I ended up winning, which was pretty cool considering I was competing against pilots flying competition gliders. What are the chances, the first flight I decide to take a beer with me in my harness and I fly 300+ and have someone to drink it with when I land!

Here are the links to our tracks:

The 10th Annual Ozone Chabre will be happening 26th of June to the 3rd of July, 2015, and registration is now, amazingly, complete.

Thanks to all of the pilots who signed up… having 130 pilots registered and paid within 20 minutes of the registration opening is probably some kind of record for a paragliding event! One pilot commented, “Unbelievable that was like getting tickets for a U2 concert!” Apologies if you missed out this year, the demand has been truly amazing, but we encourage you to visit the area, competition or not, as it’s a wonderful place to build cross country skills. See flylaragne.com for more info.

Cheers to all, and we look forward to seeing you there.
