Seriously: how are there this many kites? It looks crowded in the picture, but it’s pretty spacious when you’re out there. Or at least that’s what I remember from previous experiences: new-to-me 12m kite needs different length ropes for the bar, or something? At any rate, we try to launch twice before getting thoroughly scolded by multiple instructors. Makes me want to get really good and give free half-hour “learn to kite” lessons: cover basic safety then set noobs free. Maybe a bit more basic safety to learn before I’m doing that, or at least getting to where I can launch without someone grabbing the kite out of Kate’s hand and demanding we desist…
