Before the days of the spit, there were often times that there was no beach to launch from. There was a small sandy area with bushes and trees at the base of the ramp at the kiteboarding beach and launch. Often times it was launching one at a time with the person down on the sand and the person launching the kite was up on the ramp where the kiteboarding gear sheds are located now and where the wind was not shadowed.

Then came the 26 acres from the floods.

Wow, awesome pics.

Heavy wet snow at lower elevations then a warm up and a Pineapple express and then you have 26 new acres of spit and much more shallow water to learn in both at the spit and at Wells Island too.
