Takeoff description

Site not recommended for beginner pilots- rather for some pilots with at least intermediate skills. Take-off can be difficult- you need to find the right spot to inflate your wing to avoid rotor from the cliff (in strong wind). In my experience: in wind from WS-W is the best way to inflate the wing on westerly site of the cliff and walk to the age of the cliff. In the case of the wind from S- SE the best way is to do it on the east wing of the cliff and do the same way. Good luck!
