Good day, bad day.
Must be one of the most stressfull days of a paragliding guide. All weather forecasts pointing out a southwesterly, strong inland, breezy at the coast. So where do you go ?
To a southwesterly site at the coast no ? As always !
Got there, ... , too weak, stayed there, ... , too weak, ...., waited a bit, too weak.....
BUT
Had info from a local pilot that Benidorm was having a ligth southeastern breeze, hmmmm .
Off we went and flew at La Cortina.
I think Frans and Marcel did best today. As old time soarers in Belgium they sniffed when it was dying off, so toplanded and took off when it was breezy enough again.
In the end we heard lots of other pilots got more frustrated than we did. Not a very good day, weather against us, although very very hot and mucho mucho sol, but winds didn't kick in. Only inland and around Alicante, where winds were still strong and offshore when we arrived back home.
Some french pilots arrived, all in good spirits as their rugby team kicked New Zealand's ass in the world cup.

this is an nice video, especially the end
