Flug
Soaring in lee side thermals between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.; good thermals (+5m/s) during dry season around midday; cloudbase normally at 1,000 - 1,500 m asl; XC potential; site record: 25 km (check our website for details: [URL]paraglidingjamaica.com[/URL]);
on poor days you can still do a 5-10 min 'sled ride' down to landing zone on sporting fields (200 m asl).
Schwierigkeit
NOT a beginners site (intermediate level); good landing skills required as LZ is tight
