The rider needs to wade into the rocky shore as a buddy launches your kite from the grass. There is a pretty narrow margin for error here. There is a cove downwind (on West wind days) that you can dump your kite into if you miss the landing area and can't make it back up wind. The wind is funky down there, so it is best to stay upwind to begin with. Best spectator/camera place and friendly locals to help with the launch. Not a good place for beginners.
