Went to the old kite beach after work today.  Looked like a "kite cloud" in front of Naish beach.  There were only a few people at kite beach.  I guess that should have been a clue.  The wind only came onshore occasionally and it was really hard to get out of there.  Also, couldn't tell what size kite to set up.  I went by the "rig big" rule and it proved to be a mistake.  Once I got out of the wind shadow, I was way overpowered.  Didn't stay out long.  Sure has been a lot of good wind though.  On the way to lunch at the hospital, I always have a view out a big window looking out on the ocean and it is almost always covered with white caps.
