The new return path is really useful. Well south of the beach launch. Thanks. I just tore the carpet out of my family room so I'll bring it out for general use but not sure where to leave it. The in/out signs would be great. I have noticed that the main problem seems to be regulars who know better but consider themselves to be above following procedures. [-X This arrogant sense of entitlement is sickening. It doesn't matter how long you have kited Sherman or how mad your skills are. The procedures are for everyone. The signs would help to make this rudeness more apparent. It's going to be a busy season so let's get it down early.

I'm new to Sherman, so bear with me. Has anyone ever though of removing the bushes in the middle of the launch and periodically clearing the driftwood? It appears that the bushes are just shrubs and berries, nothing too valuable, and it would clear a great deal of access. :?:

They make a nice windbreak and while not being soft and cushy, provide a scratchy safety net for wayward kiters who every once in a while fling themselves into it.

Can you make a spare sign for 3rd as well. Like:

"KITES PARKED IN THE LUNCH ZONE WILL BE REMOVED!"

i mean launch :) :) :)

The exit path is pretty awesome...saved my very delicate and tender feet. :P

I find it so hard to understand we need to do this. Why is it that people can't figure it out for themselves. Aren't humans supposed to be the intelligent species. I mean there's only enough space to launch and land about 10 kites..........what are those parkers thinking ?
