again, so cool! learning to feel, understand, and read WIND just sounds like a real magical power.
i had no idea this was such a male-dominated sport, although i guess all the adrenaline sports are. but annoying to here there's still a sexism that excuses having smaller-sized gliders as "impossible."
it feels like not being able to get a hang-gliding cert due to wind conditions should actually be a prereq to getting the cert. like if you don't understand that sometimes you can't do what you want because of weather, did you really learn about the sport?
