A gaggle of mad slopers decide to abandon all reasonable ideas for Labor Day Weekend and go to the one place they know they'll actually enjoy themselves - the slope. Their friends and families have long given up on the planned "slopaholics intervention" and simply agree to the idea with a weary shrug and a silent prayer that someday the insanity will stop. Soar California is a chance for PSS flyers to come together for 3 days of flying and seaside fun. You don't need a PSS plane to hang out and fly, but this event is focused on fast glass replicas of jets, warbirds and other scale planes. Some of the finest slope pilots on the West Coast will be attending, including world-class PSS designers Brian Laird and Carl Maas, as well as noted sailplane videomaker Dave Reese (hey, maybe you and you're plane will wind up in a video!). This will be a fantastic opportunity to show off your planes and flying skills. You'll also get a chance to have an up-close look at some of the finest examples of PSS craftsmanship on the planet. Davenport, California is a world-famous slope site along the Northern California coast. Home of the annual Unlimited Man-on-Man soaring event (which can be seen in Paul Naton's classic Endless Lift II video), Davenport is a 350' vertical- seacliff with a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean. Gorgeous beaches, the Santa Cruz boardwalk, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, stunning Big Sur, quaint Carmel, the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco are all within an hour's drive and provide plenty of great daytrips for flyers and non-flyers alike. The event is a pure fun-fly, with no contests per se. There may be some warbird racing if there is enough interest but the emphasis is on sport flying, looking at great planes, enjoying the beauiful scenery and hanging out with other PSS folk. Pilots are requested to carry AMA insurance and fly responsibly. There is no charge for participating or spectating.
