Fair enough-

Although our poster from Texas has written of his experience
in these things with what I assume would be strong
thermals, I still have to wonder how they do taking
the big-G hits that are not uncommon in strong conditions.
As I stated in a previous post, I only really see
them about in the mornig taking sled rides.

Perhaps if you are flying slowly, you do not encounter "big-G hits", as
the thermal will not seem so "sharp-edged"? We see many para-gliders in
the middle of the day when flying out of Ephrata (Washington State)
during our Regional contest, as they often have their contest at the
same time.
