pic of kitebeach ;see how small launch area is surrounded by lava rock and full of rotor turbulence; wind comes over the building in
the distance, notably our block of flats below the last crane on the right.launch and get in the water as fast as you can keeping the
kite just above the land and water surface or it just luffs in the turbulence.
