Startplatz-Beschreibung

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.

Anfahrt

The main bridge to Quinana beach will ensure you arrive right on the beach. From there, the ridge is visible a few hundred meters to the east. Driving on the beach is permitted, so it is possible to drive all the way to a launch site.

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!
