Blue Flag was pretty good today as well.
It was best from about 2 pm til 4, and started up around 12:30.
Right at 4 it got pretty lame, mainly cuz it switched from NW to N and the wind got blocked off.

Whenever I hop on the trolley, I make a point of trying to get as much sand off of me and my equipment as possible. Usually I am bone dry, as well. With small kites, I deflate the LE and keep the struts inflated, with the kite rolled up like a cigar. Then I put my harness around one end and my leash around the other to maintain it tight.
I have only been denied access once. It was because I had no footwear. We wore wet (that dried by the time we got on) socks yesterday. That is the ticket! , because you can put them in your wetsuit (or shorts ... yikes).
I think Bayflite had that idea.
