Hazards:

Watch out for the deep water to the north and south of launch area. There are also a bunch of rocks near the highway that stretch up and down. You do not want to be flying your kite near the highway. Look over the google maps and our videos to better understand the location. 

Plenty of riding area. If you find yourself in a bit of a congested riding area. Just simply tack up wind. you'll find out that zero people will be up there. 
East Side has great sand and lots of parking. Making set up for your kite easy and safe.

Wind Direction:

The wind is best when it has east in it. But North works too. Even a straight south. 

Scenic View

Scenic is a hardly ridden. With very little reaso other than that the wind surfers congest the immediate launch area. Fewer and fewer wind surfers are there so no worries.
