Omarama soaring flight to Mt Cook, New Zealand
While on vacation in February 2016 on New Zealand's South Island, I took a soaring flight with one of Glide Omarama's flight instructors, Dan McCormack. We enjoyed a 3 hour flight, utilizing thermal, ridge, and wave lift to fly from Omarama to Mount Cook and back, topping out around 13,000 feet. Mount Cook is the highest point in New Zealand at over 12,000 feet.
If you are ever on the South Island of New Zealand, and are not prone to motion sickness, I highly recommend spending a day going to Omarama to take Glide Omarama's long flight.

Shortened version of Duo Discus glider flight to Mount Cook, NZ (watch in HD)
Edited down version of full flight in a Duo Discus glider to Mount Cook and back to Omarama in New Zealand's South Island. The spelling mistakes in the previous video have been corrected. The Omarama airfield is great location for glider flights that make the most of the lovely South Island scenery. I was a passenger and Mike from GlideOmarama was the pilot. I had intended to mount the camera inside the cockpit but incompatible fittings resulting in me hand holding it. The camera got quite hot and during the stints when I took the flight controls it hard to fly the aircraft and point the camera in the best direction. The full three hour flight video is also on YouTube at

Wave Soaring From Springfield New Zealand
Some footage from a wave flight from Canterbury Gliding Club back in about February 2019. I've cut out or sped up the more boring bits. It took about 45 minutes to get up into the wave system on this occasion and thankfully the rotor wasn't too bad. We got up to a really decent height and the views were incredible.
Thanks to Christchurch ATC for putting up with us messing about in the airspace!

Epic Wave Climb New Zealand
Please excuse the swearing! The tow up to the wave was the most violent turbulence we had ever experienced. The tug was forced to dump us (we released from him at the same time) less than 1500ft agl due to the severity of the tow. However we pushed just up wind and quickly found a climb to 10,000ft qnh and it only got better from there up!
