Hi, just joined this group because I am looking for glider rental options in California-Nevada for when I am visiting the US from Europe. I am seeking for a performance glider 1 and 2 seaters 18/20 meter (~59/65 feet) wings span, preferably self-launch or sustainer engine equipped such as DuoDiscus, Ventus2 or different makes. Are there any clubs/private owners who rent out such category gliders? I fly a private Ventus 2ct in Europe, have 1500 hours of which more than half mountain flying experience and recently acquired my FAA equivalent SPL license.

Thanks!

You'd run into some difficulties due to your licensing situation, FAA SPL wouldn't necessarily be sufficient to rent and fly a high-performance glider on your own. Probably the easiest way is to sort out the paperwork (License conversion? I'm assuming you have at least PPL in your own country), join a club, then get checked out in the glider you'd want to fly.
Licensie compatibility makes ad-hoc rental much easier among EU countries, but U.S. has its own administration and rules, which are not 100% EU compatible.
