(shortened version)

backside is a sketchy place to ride, especially for beginners. BE CAREFUL. I had a few close calls today, one self inflicted and somewhat embarrassing. In one case I did a small jumping transition near shore (i know don't say it) and it gusted just as I was diving my kite. Yanked me right out of my straps and I landed on my face in the mud. Duh. That was dumb.

Anyway, it was a good time but typical BS.
I am absoutely AMAZED that someone is giving lessons there , which only encourages beginners to ride in one of the sketchiest spots in the area. I tell my students not to even consider it.
