What we look for at Bee Canyon LFB

Wind direction

W (270°) → NW (315°)

The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.

Ideal speed

10–20 mph

Ceiling · Paragliding

≤ 19 mph base · gusts ≤ 23

Top of the range for paragliding (any rating). Switch wings up top to compare. Hang gliders hold roughly 10 mph more than paragliders.

A thermic hang gliding launch ("Little F'ing Bump") at about 3,500 ft above Hwy 74, southeast of Riverside. It works best in W to NW wind around 10-20 mph; SW is flyable but crossed and turbulent. The LZ is across Hwy 74, with an oak tree and old buildings to avoid. Crestline Soaring Society regulates it: H3 minimum, membership or day pass, helmet/reserve/radio. PG flies it on lighter, cleaner W-NW cycles.
