My experience has been that there's no training for cross country or wave soaring other than at a few well known locations.*

That said, the difficulties of finding 1)wave conditions 2)willing CFI-G 3)high quality two place glider and 4)my own availability to fly at that right time and place does not make it impossible.

I completed my BFR with my favorite CFI-G in 'wet wave' conditions last October at a commercial/club operation. I knew that my favorite CFI-G worked on Thursday and Friday. At the beginning of September, I told him of my interest in doing my BFR on a 'wave day', and then I started watching the weather forecast closely. Eight weeks later, it happened. Wow... best flight ever. Rainbows on tow, spin training, diving through a closing blue hole etc. etc..

Soaring is inherently opportunistic and pilots need to create their own training opportunities. Putting yourself in the right place at the right time is a fundamental and inherent part of the sport and this is especially true for wave flying.
