Weather conditions:
We are able to fly almost anywhere where the wind direction and wind speed fall within our safety requirements. However, we only use SAHPA recognized flying sites, some of which have been tailor made for safe paragliding and hang-gliding take off.
We have erected camouflage shade net on the take off area to prevent erosion and lessen the environmental impact.

Paragliding is weather reliant, but we can fly almost 200 days a year, throughout summer and winter. We do not specifically need any wind to get airborne but most suitable conditions range from 10kms per hour to a max of 30kms per hour to launch safely.
The direction of the wind is also a deciding factor, the wind should be blowing directly up the slope or launching site, with a tolerance of 15 degrees off center being acceptable.
Days where the weather is beautiful and clear with no clouds and good temperatures are not necessarily the most suitable conditions for paragliding, but mostly they are.
Most perfect contitions: SW 25kms for Lion's Head - W 25kms for Signal Hill - NW 20kms for Sir Lowries pass - S25kms for ......................................Hermanus - S 15kms for Noordhoek - NW 20kmf for Franschhoek
