About This Spot
It's exposure is South-South-East, exactly in front of Elba Island.
It's a tricky takeoff because there are bushes from left to right and on top, so the operating space is reduced to a minimum. However it can be flown without much stress if you takeoff on the lower part.
I open this takeoff 3 years ago because i'm from Piombino and no one flown this site before. It's a very very nice flight, you can soar till Piazza Bovio and return back, flying on the sea. The average height is 20 meters, so pay attention on wind and wing efficiency, no safe landing in between. See the video for more advise.
Takeoff altitude: 15m
