When I was a H2 and new H3, I took many trips down to Marina wanting to goon the dunes. I set up lots of times, but never caught the conditions right for getting a flight.
Years later I finally got it right and came down to Marina on a good day to fly with Ryan, JT, and Ben.
John was happy to see me
It's fun flying to low dunes in a low performing glider. Skimming the sand and landing without moving forward. Here's a couple videos courtesy of the one and only John Taylor.

After a couple hours of gooning and about 6 flights, I packed it up and headed home with a smile on my face.
A heartfelt goodbye from John to end the day
