What's the wind typically like? What size kites are typically flown? Are bigfoots highly recommended or is the hard pack wide enough for barrows?

Is it only windy certain times of the day? Is this a tide centric event(riding revolves around the tide)?

Prevalent NW winds in this area for the most part. Sometimes get lucky with a W or WSW even better. More often than not winds start out mild and pickup throughout the day. Kite size wise....heh, 3m-15m... best to bring your full quiver. Best beach around here, plus you can drive right out on the sand making setup of gear and camp easy. Bigfoots are nice but definitely not required. Theres a nice big dune for a more "all terrain" cruise that the BFs are better for, but "barrowers" hit it up too. Still plenty of hard pack for you to run skinnys without complaint. I guess the "tide-centricity" depends on the tides for the day. I've spent a solid 12hr+ day out there without being forced off the bug.
