This site in the Western Cape, South Africa, offers a variety of takeoff options and is known for good dune soaring. While it is occasionally used, it provides opportunities for small cross-country (XC) flights. On a good day, you can choose the main launch and fly along the entire ridge. If the wind is westerly, you have the option to launch directly from this site. The site record for this location is 4.9 km.
