Descripción del despegue
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.
Comentarios de pilotos
Not a high ridge, but easily soarable and plenty of room for practicing wing overs, and generally playing around. The ride is at least 500m long, so >10 PG could play together without any problems. ................. I've added a couple of videos showing how difficult backing up the bluff or soaring from the top might be!
