“Progression Project forum local reply names Naval Point in Lyttelton Harbour as one of the Christchurch-area spots most likely to work for a visiting wing/parawing rider. Other posts describe harbour bumps above 20 kt against tide and ferry traffic, but this is only a community candidate rather than a full launch guide.”
