It's really a lot of fun! The light pollution isn't too bad there so it's cool to see all the stars moving behind your kite plus all the glow sticks
floating & spinning in the air and moving along the water, and rooster tails of water lit by the moon and our glowsticks.
As far as moving here, I'm not too sure you'd really want to live here for the kiting. We've been getting very lucky with these nighttime winds here
and what we do get is quite gusty and switchy. For steady, consistent wind, I think you might be in a better spot. Fresh water is great and all,
but I've been heading to the coast almost every weekend because the winds have been so weak here.
Have you tried Rockport or Corpus? Corpus has been going off everyday since last week!
