Karioitahi Beach airspace

It is nice to live near the west coast. These paragliders enjoy the airspace and hot thermals that rise up from the beach. It looks such a sedate sport, but even so, I don't ever imagine that I will try it!

I didn't realise there would be so many jumping off this cliff! Lots of wind for the lift! Those who do it, love it!

Thanks for the tip Dianne, although I thought she'd catch up with it eventually anyway.
