Default my home turf- i miss it!

agreed, i started my kiting at northshore, seeing as it was only 5 blocks from my house. i used to always see how much it was rippin at the skyway on ikite, and i'd plan on it all day and afterschool i'd go over there with an easy 8 knot difference, then a few weeks later i tried out lassing, if im lazy and its rippin i kite north shore, if its nice and rideable, either lassing, skyway or eastbeach is your best bet. thats my 2 cents cuz, that was my home launch spot. its best on northeast, east, and east south east but brightwaters blvd gives it a slight wind shadow with wind from the north, and south has the turbulence from the park and maybe the vinoy.
