The kite pilot was way out of his depth. Unless you’re in a professional lesson situation, Nitinaht is a bad place to learn to fly a kite. The beach is a hazard. Nitinaht is a great place to progress in the sport, but it’s a lousy place place for your first few efforts. Both kite schools currently teaching at the lake - Strong Kiteboarding (Dwayne) and Elevation Kite School (Marie) have perfect safety records. Hats off to both of them for taking the time and care to make it that way. As a beginner, you cannot safely expect to make the jump from trainer kite to fullsize kite at Nitinaht’s narrow, rocky, driftwood covered beach, unless you’re under the coaching of an experienced instuctor like Dwayne or Marie. So please take a lesson.

The long distance kiteboarding race began with a 1-hour tack up the lake. As I made it to the mark, I was powered on the kite until about 300 yards from the marker, and then the wind shut off. Making it around the mark on the kiteboard was quite difficult. It took some skill to actually get around, but seemed to hold it together enough for me to make it around the first waypoint and downwind to the beach for my second run to the marker.
