04-06-01 Jim: Was there in April '04. Used my 7m kite 8/9 days! Sandy bottom can walk out at least 100m. I've been windsurfing and kiting here for many years and have rarely been dissappointed. Brian's Windsurfing school has been locating here in the winter months Dec.-Apr. for about the last 5 years.
