I fly both hang gliders and paragliders (H4/P4), but I think the instruction and oversight of paragliding at Torrey Pines leaves a lot to be desired.

It's sad to see what USHPA has done in 10 short years. The Torrey Hawks was a thriving hang gliding club on Christmas of 2012. A few years later USHPA refused to renew the Torrey Hawks chapter status out of spite.

Rick Masters said it best back on March 21st, 2015:
