Carpeted launch with shade shelter, thorny brush surrounding carpeted area is unforgiving of aborted launches or errant launches.

Météo

Dependent upon sea breeze for flying. Thermals are generally light but can also be turbulent at moments.

Réglementation / espace aérien

$5 US per day to fly; $50 seasonal membership paid to local gringo pilot. No local radio frequency established.

Commentaires

An ideal car-free paragliding destination. Winds are usually light and cross in morning and straighten out before noon. Stronger winds in afternoon enable ridge soaring. A fairly mellow and straightforward flying site.
