The South Coast Paragliding Association has concluded that the Skyport launch on Gibraltar Road in Santa Barbara has been made considerably more dangerous by the effects of the recent Jesusita Fire. We are in the process of obtaining the necessary permission, funding and labor to return the site to its pre-existing condition. Therefore, we request that Skyport launch not be used by any pilots during the coming summer of 2009.
We will keep all pilots informed of our work in progress via this website.
