Wanna learn then do what you have to, learn to bodydrag and relaunch in HR, one to two days, and then get out of the shallow water! Go to the hook and end up at the sand bar, go to the hatch and nut up for the sandbar downwinder. Stop using shallow water as a crutch.
As to the place where "it blows you back on the beach" it isn't a great beginner spot. Onshore winds are not safe. In the last two years there have been broken collarbones from bodydragging into stumps, hospitalizations from dragging onto the beach, and countless kites into the trees downwind. |

| And for those of you who can ride, spread out. Get over your fear and move out into the channel! |
