After spending a long time on Saturday parawaiting, I decided I was more than willing to hike for some flying. I like hiking, so why not. I had been looking into doing some sledders from Cheetah launch, and I finally tried it for the first time last night. I decided that I certainly wasn't ready to top land at Cheetah, but a sledder and landing on the beach should be totally fine.
The main challenge was that the wind was very light, which requires more forward movement to bring the wing up. And since cheetah is on top of a bluff, it means you kinda need to run towards the edge. But there is enough time to abort if necessary, it's just an unnatural feeling. The wind picked up a touch after the first flight, and that made the next two much easier.
