Best consistent ridge soaring site
Dillingham Airfield on Oahu is the absolute best ridge soaring site. The trade winds are very consistent. The view is impossible to top. A 500 foot tow and you are off. Leave the ridge and fly out over the ocean to look down at the coral reefs.
I have done it five times. The winds failed to blow on only two days. Within two days things were good again.
