Looks fun! Though the "beach" at the ditch always scared me enough that I have never tried it Very Happy

We'll be there in a couple of weeks...

Where did you actually launch ? Couple of those pic look like they are before you get in the ditch(ship channel). I have windsurfed up in the ditch but it seems to me it would be too narrow to kite ? Where those pics where taken is a great spot...

there are so many cool spots.....the mouth of southbay is great, longish drive to the beach tho (30min from spi). the spot in these pics is across from turning basin, which is only 5 min from the bridge, launching from downwind side of shipping channel and riding upwind side.

there can be oyster beds around, but not in either of these places, and both of the ones i mention have good beaches and vehicle access.

let me know if y'all want to check them out when the island doesnt have good wind, im happy hit em with anyone.
