The power of observation.

[@hekikuu]

So what did you see? A steeper cliff? Blacker grounds that generate thermals?

[@Ripstop_pilot]

Wind was zero to 2mph and in the wrong direction. Those before me were not thinking about reaching a working face or flying close enough. From launch you can evaluate conditions and topography to work out where lift should be, launch and fly straight for it.

put another way: some are lucky, others are not.@@Ripstop_pilot

Well done! Great spot landing.

[@turkeyphant]

If it's really zero wind why wouldn't you forward launch? And it looked like the working cliff was launchable

[@Ripstop_pilot]

Because I like to see my wing before I run head first off a cliff over a road 😉 and yes the working cliff had an unofficial launch, pilots were there, however we were taken to the official launch by our guides.

[@ne_kraehe]

hey, Im new here! Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! Where is this spot, if I may ask?

[@Ripstop_pilot]

This is tenerife. Get yourself booked in with Para42 and they will get you to all the good spots.

[@francofrancone-n5b]

Where is it?

[@Ripstop_pilot]

Tenerife. North east corner, south side.

You are Legendary Sir!

Thank you 🤣

[@pablopablito9990]

Hi m8 is that las teresitas ? Tenerife? Think i did exactly same thing few years bk like 5 guys couldn't stay and i went right to the very end and stayed up for 2 hrs .

[@Ripstop_pilot]

That the spot. Lovely place for a float about when the rest of the island is not working. Even better when you make it work.

[@pablopablito9990]

@@Ripstop_pilot definitely m8 agree .

[@uberdenwolken4564]

Nice one. :) But just one thing that isn‘t that smart: doing your final over a street. ;)

[@Ripstop_pilot]

It's not really a street, a dead end road. And the option was perfectly safe. No traffic. No power lines and landing in the designated beach area.

[@zaphod333]

Kudos! I too looove being first and it just works out, including the challenge. But I'd rather not watch 3 minibuses full of pilots cramped at that tiny rock. Where was that btw?

[@Ripstop_pilot]

I didn't want to fly amongst 3 busses full of pilots. Further flying was done but I was on holiday in tenerife. I could fly as many times as I wanted, a beer on the beach with friends was calling.

[@zaphod333]

@@Ripstop_pilot Like it! Haven't flown seaside yet, mostly in the Alps. Something on my todo list... 😎

[@Ripstop_pilot]

It's nothing on the alps I assure you but it's great fun.
