I think Dave and Kevin flew for most of an hour ... a great first tandem at Torrey for Kevin!! I was mostly busy with food and guests, but I did manage to squeeze in a very nice 15 minute flight myself.
Thanks to all members of the Hawks (everywhere) for making Torrey a more hang-gliding-friendly site.
