The signs will be in place next weekend, they look GREAT! Thanks you YURI!!
I spoke and showed the new signs to the Parks attendant, Mina, and she warmly approved...
Please direct others to follow the proper return path and ALWAYS STACK your KITES! If someone need a reminder- just point at the sign and say: Thanks!!

See you next weekend,
Greg

FROM SUN 6-13

http://www.iwindsurf.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=20340

ADD NO KITING IN THE PLAYPOOL!!!!
AND TOO MANY UNDERPOWERED KITERS COMING IN THE
PLAYPOOL AND WAKING UP THE PARK ROAD W/KITE IN AIR!!
and these are mostly experienced,locals setting a bad example.

if you go out in marginal conditions,or the wind dies
take it to little baja,land it and walk back....
KITE IN HAND!
peace,unity,love & havin' fun.

Yeah, a few windsurfers often cruise upwind and do tacks and jibes upwind of the playpen in the 'kite area', I don't mind them a bit. I even find it easier and more relaxing to let them pinch me off if they want and I'll veer downwind a bit. Why not?

Some of the windsurfers even smile when you kite next to them......they must be kiters too?
