What we look for at Houser Rd Towing

Wind direction

Any direction (tow launch)

Tow launches point into the wind, so any direction works.

Ideal speed

0–8 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.

Winch/payout tow site on the Eloy/Casa Grande desert flats. No ridge, no launch-direction limit; limiters are surface wind/gusts, desert thermals and dust devils — cool-season mornings/evenings are prime. Coordinate with AZHPA/local tow crew.
