Tell us about the most beautiful adventure you have experienced with your glider.
First day of sailing. I was on the beach trying to understand how it worked and I felt a light breeze coming from the land, the intensity of the wind increased so much that it was no longer able to counteract the strength of the sail. It pulled me towards the water and then it submerged me and dragged me out to sea. I dropped the sail and swam back to shore towing it.
