Thank you for your interest in the exciting sport of radio controlled (RC) soaring and in the South Bay Soaring Society (SBSS).
The SBSS is an active non profit corporation composed of many men, women, and youths living principally in the southern San Francisco Bay area.
We are dedicated to furthering participation in the sport and hobby of Radio Controlled soaring through activities and programs teaching scientific principles related to our soaring activities and the skills necessary to create, maintain and fly radio controlled gliders.
Mentoring youth through public and private programs, encouraging participation in a science based sporting environment, emphasizing fair play, and learning while having fun are the focus of our organization.
While we welcome and encourage membership from all age groups, we place special emphasis on serving youth.
The South Bay Soaring Society is the oldest and one of the largest chapters of the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) devoted entirely to soaring.
The SBSS has been responsible for the development of many of the existing AMA competition rules for R/C soaring, and founded the League of Silent Flight (LSF), an honorary group based upon the achievement of levels of proficiency, with over eighty thousand members world-wide.
