Hey , I have never seen it done here , but it is blowing east at 17, and whitecaps.

This is the Jean and John Starkweather Shoreline Park.

This wind is side on shore, there is a trail on top ofa rock levy. the hardpart would be walking over the levy rocks.

You get there off the Francisco exit on Hwy101 and make a right off theoff ramp o to Bellam blvd and go straight to the end.

Would require a short walk to the water, or go over by the Home Depot
accros fro, the beid field.

I guess the safe launch would to be in the water and have your groung crew hold the kite on top of the levy.

I could meet you over there for ground crew support.

Yeh, it would be a desperate messure. a couple hours ago it was sweet steady wind, mostly onshore. Hight tide, must be some reason why no one kites there.

Very cold wind chill.

Here in the Valley, it's currently raining and 39 degrees, 37 with the wind chill!

That's almost cold enough to snow.
