The Art of Soaring

Soaring images

Geoff is a qualified glider pilot as well as a photographer. His first flight was at Omaka airfield, during a holiday in 1986. Based in Christchurch, he joined the Canterbury Gliding Club, then based at Wigram and signed up for a one-week ab-initio course at the Club’s former airfield at Hororata. After a five-day intensive course, he soloed on the Friday. He was hooked. Geoff eventually became Chief Flying Instructor of the Club and held the position for a total of 10 years.

While no longer an active member he still assists with administration for competitions and acts as Contest Director, a voluntary role he has now performed eleven times.

His indepth knowledge of gliding shows through in his superb images which are widely followed around the world on Instagram and Facebook.
