Top of the range for paragliding (any rating). Switch wings up top to compare. Hang gliders hold roughly 10 mph more than paragliders.
Small inland thermal/ridge site in the De Luz hills southwest of Temecula (~2,100 ft), on a S/SSW-facing slope. Best flown on light, clean S-SW flow in the morning glass-off; midday cycles get punchy and any N-component wind puts launch in the lee. No published site guide — verify launch permission, LZ, and conditions with local SoCal pilots first.
