Dangler & Lawnmower:

Can you give me any info or get a picture of the wave rebound? Something that shows the angle of the incoming waves and the rebound direction? I think there is some adjustment room in the positioning of the breakwater. Maybe with a good illustration or real life picture we can show the engineer something that might let them come up with a solution to change the angle and direct the rebound into the point and leave the bay clean.

No promises on changes but I'll do what I can to minimize the impact to kiters while making the launch ramp more usable. Along with the legitimate complaints and criticism try to send in ideas for improvement.

Tony
