My first tandem flight in 1988 was on a mountain in Southern Calif called Kagel. I started flying hang glider solo in 1990. Since then hang gliding has been my primary interest.
Paragliders Dave B, Nick B and myself launched at 2:30pm. I was up for one and a half hour, lift was plenty and easy to climb. Maximum altitude was 600ft above launch. Steve Seibel (hang pilot) arrived around 3pm and winds direction turned more south so Steve didn't setup. Squall was approaching from South so l decided to landed (at 4:00pm).
2nd flight with Steve (no Paras):
We both flew for an hour. It was blue sky with some sunshine but very light south wind when I ready to launch at 6pm. I was able to soar for 50 min. Maximum altitude was only 50-100ft above. Steve launched an hour later (7pm) and the wind got stronger. He got 400 ft above launch and landed 8pm.
