4 hours on the water, wind was pretty solid 15 knots for most of the time. Waves were choppy and meh with the tide too high. Nice warm weather by Vancouver standards though.
Very annoying to watch several people kiting in the swimming zone though. Please do everything you can to get them to stop when you see them doing this (don't kite in to the swimming zone yourself to stop them though).
Do not even fly your kite in the swimming zone! Seriously just land it in the water and roll up and carry it in. You wont have room to land it dry if it isn't low tide anyway. See end of above video for an example.
People need to understand that there are lifeguards on the beach who's job it is to keep people safe in that swimming zone. They sure as hell do not appreciate people kiting in that zone or flying their kites in that zone.

- There was a pink or red kite who was flying in the swimming zone 40 feet from the beach who had his kite fall straight down LE first.
- There was a blue/grey kite flying in the swimming zone while walking up wind a bunch
- The worst offender by far was what looked like an Ocean Rodeo Roam just riding back and forth right in the swimming zone for about 40 minutes.
If you know these people IRL please ask them stop doing this.
