Alameda today! Please dont do this.

Today someone had a fmily with a kid try and launch their kite. Please don't do this! I was watching from the water and saw the potential hazards involved. that kid was directly in the path of those lines and the people didn't know up from down. I was going to say something but didnt feel llike being an ass especially since you were wrapping up by the time I came in. Please ask someone on the beach or drag the kite back out on the water where you can play with relaunching a bit more.

Thanks

some basic guidelines on alameda can be found here and truthfully even these ned to be severly updated.

"-If you are a beginner(or a pro) and you have gone down wind do not ask beachgoers to land your kite. Only ask other kiters to land your kite. If there are none around, land your kite in the water."
