DMC San Diego Takes to the Skies

San Diego — home to beautiful beaches, sunny skies, and one of DMC’s newest offices. Over the past few months, those of us in “America’s Finest City” have taken the time to explore all the amazing opportunities that San Diego and its surroundings have to offer – from taking on surf and summit to dancing the night away (blog coming soon). Recently, DMC San Diego reached new heights by taking a leap of faith.

The group had a pre-flight sandwich lunch from Green Bowl Cafe in La Jolla.

Perched upon the cliffs overlooking Blacks Beach rests the Torrey Pines Gliderport: “the most historic aviation site in North America and Southern California’s premiere location for paragliding, hang gliding, remote control models and sailplanes.” It was here that, on one sunny Saturday afternoon, DMC San Diego took to the skies.

After checking in with our friend Rae – who works at the gliderport – we met our instructor pilots on a grassy field with their paragliders. Before long, we were airborne. With the beach below and the cliffs and ocean on either side, we soared, dipped, and glided through the air.
