It has become clear that kiting in the northwest means flying on a beach along the coast. I've always avoided kiting on beaches for two reasons, sand and salt. I don't personally have anything against them, but my kites aren't particularly fond of being coated with either. Well, we recently went up to Long Beach in Washington for the day, and I believe I may have to change my stance. There's something to be said for being able to drive out onto the beach and keep going until you find a pleasant spot to call your own, park the car, and fly. No more hunting for parking, no more hauling bags, and no more fighting for space to fly. That's got win written all over it :) It was a bit cooler since it's the coast, but the sun was out and the sand was warm. I can't wait to go back...
