04-11-27 chemosavi: Just 10 or 15 miles south of Los Barilles is La Ribera which has an enormous beach and a big sandbar and there are almost no kiters using it due to the lack of places to stay. It has the same winds as Los Barilles but a much bigger beach. Plus the town is a `real` Mexican town and not a Sou Cal look alike. Don't tell anybody......
