The KZC is one of the few clubs in the Netherlands that is able to benefit from what is called Ridgelift.http://www.kzc.nl/index.php?id=hellingvliegen , Ridgerunning at the KZC (Dutch) When the wind blows from the northwest, it is deflected upwards by the local dunes: if the speed of the wind is great enough, the uplift provided by the air rising from the dunes is strong enough to match a glider's weight, and it is possible to fly parallel to the dunes without descending. Gliders then land on the beach for derigging and transport back to Langeveld by trailer. (The airfield is too far from the dunes for gliding back there ro be possible.)
