Hey there! I'm a skydiving instructor based out of Hollister. Myself, along with many from the Bay Area skydiving community, speedfly out on Marina State Beach.
A park ranger recently approached one of us and said that what we're doing is illegal and that we'll go to jail if we keep doing it. Paragliding and Hanggliding is perfectly legal on Marina State Beach. We cited paragliders and hang gliders that are legally allowed to fly there, but the Ranger said that what we're doing is more like B.A.S.E. jumping and that the other pilots all are part of clubs.
We all know that that is, well, ****.
What do we do? Any ideas? Please contact me at loltron@gmail.com.
