## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

THE GLIDER DEPARTED NEPHI UTAH (U14) ON A LOCAL FLIGHT. THE PILOT REPORTED GOOD LIFT, AND PROCEEDED SOUTH.  AFTER REACHING YUBA RESERVOIR STATE PARK THE GLIDER TURNED NORTH. AS THE GLIDER PROCEEDED NORTH ACROSS THE VALLEY IT BEGIN TO LOSE LIFT. THE PILOT STATED HE DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH LIFT TO RETURN TO U14, SO HE ELECTED TO LAND ON A BEACH AT YUBA RESERVOIR. ON LANDING ROLL OUT THE GLIDER HIT A BARBER WIRE FENCE.
