What a beautiful place. Warm water, sun and wind. Did my first kite loop today (unintentional) Ouch- that really hurt, but got thanked by the locals for giving them some entertainment. Glad I could help  . Here are a few pictures from today- hopefully more to follow

I am nowhere and everywhere! Actually I have been working my tail off and usually get down there around 5pm for a hour or so every evening. Sometimes I get lazy and stop off and ride Lanes, but I was out on a 14m Torch last night at the beach midway between the lifeguard station and Kite Beach. Really don't ride Kite Beach that much as the easterly evening wind makes the inside impossible, or at least not fun, and up towards the Canoe House also gets wind shadowed on the inside.
From your pictures I am assuming that your launching up at Flash Beach which is right next to the Canoe House and Lifeguard Station.
Look for solid colored kites with no logos... that usually is me. Also a pretty obvious sign is some idiot trying handle passes and putting his kite in the drink three times on each reach. Stay away, he is dangerous!
Hope to run into you on the beach soon... Bammer
