Take-off description
The takeoff site is relatively small, so you need a light glider or some wind or thermals to succeed. It is facing west, northwest with a beautiful view to the ocean from Le morne to Tamarin. You may fly with fruit bats every day here:)
Getting there
The best is to take the the road from Chamarel to La Gaulette and find the restaurant on the hillside with scenic view. From there you can easily walk just on the ridge toward soutwest and takes like 5 minutes!
Weather
Only flyable when the backwind dies, so when Le Morne is not good for kitesurfing and the clouds seems to be at 1 place or drifting from the west. Basically the wind is good from southwest to northwest!
Rules / airspace
No info on it?!

Beautiful at sunset but beware of backwind!
