  FIRST-MOUNTAIN-FLIGHTS AND RIDGE SOARING CLINIC

This clinic will be held in Caldera, Costa Rica. It will be during the rainy season and this allows us to fly during the mornings until mid afternoon in smooth ridge soaring conditions, pretty consistently, every day, before the weather starts deteriorating. We will do ground school and watch the videos from the day, after we get back from flying. We will also allow non participants to the clinic, to join us just for the fun of flying and having a great time!!
