My first time flying at a beach! And I set a new personal time record. This Bates Beach flight was absolutely amazing. It all felt so new, the feeling of being semi-low to the ground and not moving forward feels so wild! It really is the feeling of being a bird since this type of flight is where we usually observe birds soaring the easiest.
