I was at long beach this weekend on sunday playing volleyball.
I saw a kite in the air about the size you would use for landboarding.

Now which part of the beach can you use for kiteboarding/landboarding?
Is there a particular area where your allowed to launch. Its a pretty
popular beach with lots of people in the water...
