About This Spot

here are two launches 15m apart, use the one most appropriate for the wind direction.
Because of the height of the hill behind, the launch can be in a bit of wind shadow. If there
are white caps inside of Newport reef it's too strong for Paragliders. When the breeze is too
far to the south for safe soaring, 'darkies' appear on the water behind Bungan Headland.
Don't cross over the road until you have 100' above it. Keep in mind that the only safe
landing option is the beach. Paragliders don't go into the southern bowl as the ridge is not
that steep and it can be very difficult to penetrate out.

his site has two halfs, the section below the road, and the much larger hill above.

Takeoff altitude: 22m
