Takeoff description

The launch is completely surrounded by trees, therefore caution is advised when assessing the wind strength and direction at launch. The true wind speed is extremely hard to judge. Often the wind at launch seams very light yet it's perfectly soarable. If the wind on the ground is 10 - 12mph the true wind could be 25mph. Watch the trees behind take off to try to assist in assessing the wind speed. The take off looks more daunting than it actually is, but a committed take off is essential as it is relatively shallow and to counter the turbulence near the trees. Start your run as far back against the fence near the stile as this is the steepest part. Treat it as a nil wind launch and maintain plenty of speed as you encounter the turbulence as you clear the trees. After flying over the trees turn right and head along the corner of the ridge.
