That sounds like a funny idea - but it very may well work.
Just don't take over all of the ridges that they use to jump on. That is what draws some of them to the area - the four feet cliff before you get to the water.

They seem to be less numerous when it is windy. In any case, what could possibly go wrong?

I've been out to jones about 4 times in the last 2 weeks. No issues w/ the rednecks, though I did read terremotos thread. I park my truck in a way that no one would ride between it and the water and then just rig on the side.
So, front teeth intact or not (and intelligence not being a part of my factoring), the jones rednecks are generally nice people. Just a little misguided.
If you need to sweat anyone, watch the fisherman. Most of the problems w/ them is kiters just not respecting their space. Easy thing to deal w/ and avoid.
Jones kix sweet wind, has a lot of clean beach and a beautiful view, and you can usually see a bald eagle or two. If that doesn't make it sound good enough, well, you will also likely have the river all to yourself. Watch out for those big car carrier kite killer ships.

How could I refuse a request from a lady. 
If not for a few ATVs, I would be completely alone. There was no one around to take pictures of my firsts controlled port side tack ride. I am still working on a starboard tack, but I will get there. I am sure nobody wants to hear my saga, but it took epic effort to get where I am now. So far Jones was a ticked for me.
This post is lame. I know.

| You're dangerously close to being addicted Blue! Sounds great. You're reminding me I haven't been to Jones yet this season...
