The weather & water have finally warmed up & I know everyone's stoked
to get back out on the water! I would like to shout out a big welcome
to the many new kiters I've seen out there lately. I also want to take
this opportunity to remind everyone the need to kite with caution if
you're still learning. We saw many beginners this weekend attempt to
learn in on-shore wind, some having been told that a particular spot
was good for beginners. We need to get the word out that ON-SHORE WIND
IS A NO-NO FOR BEGINNER KITERS. Beaches where the predominant wind
direction is on-shore should NOT be considered good for beginners. New
kiters who attempt to ride in on-shore wind are putting themselves, the
numerous beach goers, and the sport itself at high risk for serious
injury. Side shore or side-on wind is what a beginner kitesurfer needs,
or even better is side-off or off-shore wind for the kiter with boat or
jetski support. So please keep this in mind as we celebrate the
holiday week & head into summer. Thanks & have a safe & super fun
July 4th! It's looking like a windy one!!!

Peas, love & altitude,
Holly
