The Kaimai launch site in the Hauraki region of New Zealand is occasionally used for paragliding. It offers thermal soaring opportunities and some potential for cross-country (XC) flights. Despite being referred to as an airstrip, the takeoff area is a grassy field and does not support winch towing. The site is situated at an elevation of 340 meters. The site record for the Kaimai launch is 24.8 km. There is also a lower launch site in the same region with a site record of 19.0 km. Access to Kaimai is restricted as it is private property. You must contact a keyholder to gain entry, as the site has locked gates and specific access protocols. Misbehavior or irresponsible actions at Kaimai will be addressed by other members on-site or shortly thereafter. For more information, visit the Bay of Plenty Hang Gliding and Paragliding Club's page: [Kaimai Site Information](https://parawait.org/sites/kaimai/).
