On http://www.soarhawaii.com/allprices.htm it says

Maximum passenger weight for rides:
Scenic Ride: For 1 or 2 passengers - 350 lbs
Golden Eagle Lesson Ride: 1 passenger - 350 lbs
Aerobatic Ride: 1 passenger - 220 lbs

Currently even just after a huge meal I am under 345 fully clothed and have
a
62" waist max And I don't think I care to soar directly after a huge
meal I
have hopes of at lest getting no bigger Assuming I don't how many places
that
offer rides can accomodate me? How about yours?


Sounds like a 2-32. Lots of places use 2-32s for rides, some for
instruction. Anyone know if the belts will reach?

P.S. You know the most obvious advice. Think of it as a way to
increase the length of your soaring career.

I've aleady dropped abot 20lbs. in two months, hope to drop more. Imagine if
even alchoholics had to have at least three beers a day to avoid the same
effects as fasting in real life in the short term or starvation in the long
term?

I either sailed at the place on the website or their nearest competetors. I had
a slightly smaller waist at the time. I came back almost a year later and the
seatbelt no longer fit. They said they would order an extension but I could
never come back.
The one flight I had I loved. One more reason to wish I had been like Richie
Rich or Scrooge McDuck when I was younger and smaller. I might have sailed
around the world.
