Description du décollage

Walk 'down' to the beach and turn left and you will see a 100yards or so of brocken cliff faces from 20-30ft with a bowl on the end....Launching is a little tricky, but if it's 16+, pick a face you like and back up into it and try a running step up launch from the beach into the lift ban, it's a little strange but works quite well in the right conditions(need a low gradient). If you can't get that you will need fairly good kiting skills to find a rock line to kite up.....

Accès

Ten minutes south of the foot of Carmel valley on highway one....

Météo

Watch for gusts if your parked...it can pick up pretty good here...

Réglementation / espace aérien

This is a State Park and it is Not Legal to fly here. Better to skip it and keep us in good standing with the California Park System.

This is a fun ''little'' ridge to mess around on if you happen to be passing through. Watch for high tide, this beach is leathal. Haven't had any issues yet with the park rangers, it is a state beach but I think there is a loop hole with the high tide section...
