Wickid!!! I really enjoyed watching that!! I did my HG tow conversion with the Norfolk club last year and your vid brought it all back; I have an outstanding invitation to fly with the Floaters, I might take it up soon!!!! Thank you for postin this.

The bag is padded for half of its width so that it cradles the glider. Padding is 5mm waterproof foam sandwiched between two layers of heavy weight cordura running the full length of the bag!
