Last Sunday I was lucky to get good wind during launch and a weak broken thermal to pick me up. It was an awesome experience. See it for yourself.

Eagle’s Launch from 40 feet hill
Have you ever seen an eagle take off from a cliff? I have always been fascinated watching an eagle launch form a cliff and its landings. It’s pretty normal to get a soft pick up launch like an eagle’s at a costal site with smooth winds and ridge lift. Odds are less to get it at a training hill.
