Kardoesie
Boland, Western Cape
Kardoesie has two takeoff sites covering a wide range of wind directions, making it a versatile winter training location. In winter, thermal strength is low enough for student-level flying while still providing meaningful soaring experience. The dual-launch setup means there is almost always an appropriate option when conditions are right.
