Hazards

Operator-selected city-area pin, not a verified launch. Confirm the meeting point, foil depth, marine/swimmer traffic, shore access, wind direction, downwind escape and rescue arrangements with the school each session.

“School explicitly offers parawing foil lessons and downwind training in Tauranga. City-area pin only; meeting launch changes with conditions and must be confirmed with the operator. Requested-field batch 06 verified 2026-08-01: exact, nearby, area-pin and route-endpoint relationships are explicit; unresolved items remain Unknown.”
