South Wind
 
Will the winds be favorable for East Beach on Sat? Most of the sites for a South wind look like they will be packed with beach goers. I'm still a novice and I will be doing the famous up-wind walk. I want to avoid as many beach goers as possible.
Thanks in advance,
Robert

Sat Am
 
Yes....Definitely go to east beach as it will work on a south and will not be too crowded. Try to head out as early as possible b/c the wind will be going SW in the afternoon. It's going to be WINDY so know your safety. Hope this helps!

Got a 9M??? Your gonna need it.

Was at East Beach this morning and there was no wind. It was blowing around 8 knots up till around 11 and like a light switch it went from 8 to 28knots in about 10 minutes. I expect tomorrow to do the same. Alot guys got caught off guard. Definately rig for high winds tomorrow to be on the safe side, and review your quick release and flag options on the kite. Run away kites can be dangerous out there.

I only have a 13. I'll probably just hange out and watch. It's still better than going to work.

If it switches SW will kiters head from East Beach to North Beach?
Beaches may not be as crowded with beachgoers if it hits 20+ (hopefully).
Thx.
