Chris Bigger, Danny and myself rode EB a few seasons ago on a north.
We did water launches on the blocked side of EB and rode upwind around to the windward side (opposite of where we normally ride).
It was actually quite awesome, except for the lame launch.
That was back in C kite day, so the launch was a total lofting joke, as there was zero wind on the water and about 25 knots and gusty above the (mangrove) tree line.
