Pilot comments
SAFI Ranch-- Safi Ranch airsports park, Municipality of Maasim, Sarangani Province. 20 minutes away from the airport of General Santos and about 25-minutes from the city. The park proves to be the largest airsports arena in the Philippines to date. paragliding soaring and great possibilities for thermal cross country flying because of its vast dry land in the surrounding the area. Dry and hot weather most of the year with a few days of rain in the months of July and August. The launch area is flat with a gentle slope upon exiting the launch area. There are also several directions you may launch to favor the wind direction. Ground handling is easy at both launch and landing zones. However for the more experienced pilots. Improved paved concrete road going up launch with the help of the local government units. Operated by the Sarangani Paragliders Club.
