Topa Open Distance Record

1st leg Cheifs Peak Launch to Santa Ynez Peak ~ 46 miles
2nd leg Santa Ynez Peak to Santa Maria ~ 41 miles
Total Distance around 1 turn point ~ 87 miles
Total Straight Line Distance from Launch to Landing ~ 79 miles

Robert Millington took the Topa record with 79 mile trip to the north side of Santa Maria River, landing near Hwy 101 and the Santa Maria River.  The day was a bit breezy and the slower paragliders had to settle for only half Robert's distance.
