Launching area is small- attempt to clear the launching area as quickly as possible when launching/landing. If you want to stay on land once you are launched, walk upwind of the launching area about 200 feet once launched. It is recommended that those who can't stay upwind launch and then walk upwind from the launching area prior to riding. Avoid ending up in the hotel and the pilings walking upwind once you are parallel to the launching area. Advanced riders: Go upwind about 1/2 mile to the marsh and get waist deep dead flat water for trying new tricks.
