This site is situated along Paradise Ridge with breathtaking views of the coastline. In summer the site proves to be consistent from about 10h00 in the mornings onwards. Top landings is basic, alternatively the stretch of beach also offers a safe landing spot with a pathway leading up to the launch site.
Dangers: Visiting pilots please take care when the south western increases in wind speed, not to be caught halfway down the ridge endangering yourself to get blown over the back into rotor area. Look out for the signs on the ocean, wind lines formed in your direction followed by a rapid build-up of white caps are usually signs to fly out and get into a lower wind gradient area. Darkish clouds are also a sign complementing above.
Other than that, the site offers easy soaring with loads of altitude to play with.
Jacques, the owner, invests a lot towards upgrading the site and maintaining it for all paragliders, therefore a R50 daily fee is charged. This includes a recovery from Kleinkrantz if needed.
