Key ideas in Kitesurfing Somabay's Flat Waters
- Somabay's desert sand is extremely fine and easily jams moving safety releases
- Checking and shaking the push-cuff and swivel prevents a jammed safety when lines are walked downwind
- Somabay's thermal wind starts mild in the morning and ramps up noticeably by midday
- Switching down to a smaller kite size prevents getting overpowered in afternoon gusts
- A sandbag belongs directly over the upwind wingtip to anchor the canopy flat
- Unanchored or poorly weighted kites drift downwind across Somabay's narrow spits toward beach umbrellas and hazards
- Tapping your head tells a beach assistant at Somabay you need them to catch your kite for landing
- A clear thumbs-up confirms your lines are clear and you want the assistant to release the kite
- Hand signals are necessary because wind howl and rescue boat engines drown out voices
- Practicing the push-away motion builds muscle memory to dump kite power instantly
- Somabay's shallow tidal flats leave very little room for error if dragged by an out-of-control kite
- Somabay's prevailing wind blows parallel to the coastline rather than straight out to sea
- A drifting rider is blown safely along the lagoon or onto the downwind sandbar instead of deep water
- Offshore winds blow learners into open ocean, but Somabay's side-shore angle acts as an automatic safety barrier
- Parking or gently wiggling the kite near the top of the window (10:00 to 2:00) pulls you upward rather than forward
- Somabay's knee-deep sandbars require unweighting your feet so you can wade across without tripping
