Default which sailplane to start again?

Assuming that SF means San Francisco, then check this link out.

Almost any glider is better than none!

If you can train in a ASK21 or Grob 103, you will be prepared for most any
modern glider. There are legitimate differences of opinion here, but the
less modern ships, i.e. SGS 2-33, do not prepare as well for the glass
generation.

enjoy!

I received my glider rating back in the 80's but didnt do much with it
(have been flying tailwheel and floats).

Now I would like to start up again, and live in SF.

What do you recommend for a sailplane? Any good places?

And this whole motorized or self start didnt exist when I got my
rating. Are these just as much fun? Is there one you would
recommend?

thanks,
