Never done north coast downwinders only kited in the ocean once at Manzanita.
Which access point do 2wd cars use to get on to the beach - Sunset? Then drive north setup kite ride south, packup gear hitch hike back up to car and repeat?? Or is it better to park car south and then hitch a ride north so if i don't get a ride i'm not stuck miles from my car?
I'm heading out tomorrow so if anyone wants to set up a shuttle pm me your cell # and we can try and hook up.

Hate to break it to ya, but that thing ain't real.
And, don't worry, you'll die in many other ways before a shark gets u kiting.

More people die from Bee stings than shark attacks.

| Maybe you'll get to kite with a big whale like I did on the LotB to Sunset Beach Downwinder last Friday:-) Is was so awesome. Although, Kodiak said I was out a little too far that day.

This is true, but more people walk across the lawn barefoot, than swim in the ocean, no?

got a few legit rides on the surf... unhooked one handed slack lines for a few seconds, fun
Oh and this one is for the manzo crew:
