If you can't self launch or land, don't kite there by yourself!androka wrote:Looks like racetrack might be the place again today. I'll head down around 2, need my fellow kiters to launch. Yesterday had a civilian land me on the beach, she did an excellent job.
its noon and berkeley and pt isabel are working their way up.... Any one up for an afternoon session? And if so post it here.
Thank you for taking the time to post this.amirhamaoui wrote:May be time to put up some guidelines for the Racetrack.
10 tips I've learned are...
1) beach is for dog walkers and civilians ONLY!
2) parking lot is for self launch. (Clip CL to leash or rope w/ clip to car)
3) self land behind dune on ice plants when in parking lot.
4) radio recommended if venturing beyond point.
5) be familiar with VERY variable wind speeds East Bay produces (15 to 25+ to 0 in one sesh)
6) pick up some trash to keep beach clean!
7) you may need $4 to park on weekends.
8) take car key with you.
9) don't self rescue near rocks on bulb (esp. on S wind).
10) boost huge airs to entertain beach goers, have fun and be safe!
