I had one flight with two especially long glides in my Discus 2.
196km @ 85:1 (12000ft to 4000ft)
190km @ 260:1 (13500ft to 11000ft)

Not in wave, in thermals.

Actually, going further back I found a couple of better ones.

224km @ 237:1 (13500ft to 10500ft).
145km @ -856:1 (7700ft to 8300ft).

In the venerable LS4!
