| takeoff | The top take-off located at the top of the cliff.(This is the main Karioitahi HG launch site.) |
|---|---|
| landing | When landing on the beach keep look out for beach traffic particularly through summer and when the tide is high. There is a 'no landing zone' that extends roughly 50 m north and south of the grassy derigging area in front of the bottom carpark. Please do your best to avoid landing close to the grassy derigging area when there are lots of other beach users about. Keep an eye out for vehicles and hoons on bikes before setting up for a landing. |

| rules | These sites are located within the outer area of CTA/C with a height restriction of 2,500 foot A.S.L, reducing to 1,500 foot approximately 8km north of Karioitahi, and over the township of Waiuku behind and to the east of Karioitahi |
| access | This sites is accessed by either leaving the vehicle outside the Lifesavers Club, walking along the beach and up the cliff (PG) or, alternatively taking the private road from beyond the restaurant (PG & HG). |
| comments | It is unwise to use the top take-off (site E) in a southerly (wind very cross anyway) as there is no escape if your launch is not perfect or you are in risk of being dragged side ways. Be aware of being caught behind ridges when the wind is off to either the South of the North. |
