Takeoff description
Small ridge that backs directly onto the beach. Inflate your wing on the beach and walk backwards towards the small ridge / cliff. It may also be possible to take off on the top of the ridge with a PG, but it would be difficult due to scrub and angle of the cliff. HG could probably take off on the top without too much trouble.
