On a cloudy day, easy takeoff for a pure soaring in the air laminaire which allows to enjoy for a long time effortlessly. On a sunny day, caution in the takeoff because of squalls due to the thermal currents. In this type of flight it is important not to fly to leward relief, because nasty cuttings watch for the parapentiste which manages to rise higher than the crest side sea !2- A zone of weak wind allows the exploitation of considerable thermical currents.
