The sandbar is a great place for beginners if you go at the right time. On most days if you get there before 10am you can have the place to yourself. Get there at 2 and see the zoo! Shocked


Good advice. Be the first on the beach for 2 hours till everyone shows around 1230. Then be the last on the beach as folks come in around 6pm. The wind isn't great at those times, but you won't hit anyone and probably won't piss anyone off either. You can do that and walk back up the beach till more folks arrive, but be aware that if you get into trouble there won't be anyone to help you... Unless you have a ton of time and patience, you would save yourself a lot of time and effort by just getting some lessons...

What's [where's] Thunderdome?


Thunderdome is a nickname for the sand spit. It can get pretty crazy out there with kooks tomahawking other kiters.

Thunderdome - kiter style. Chants of "Two kooks enter - one kook leaves. Two kooks enter - one kook leaves"
