Overview

Karaburun is a hill site in Türkiye with a recorded launch elevation of 60 m. It works best in northerly and north-easterly winds, and can also work in north-westerly winds. Pilots fly it for ridge soaring, using foot launch.

  • An OK site, but nothing fancy. Depending on wind direction and strength, it may be only big enough for a few pilots to fly at the same time. Best windspeed for soaring is more than 18kph. Source: ParaglidingEarth
