Beach Update AND WIND REPORT

Beach Update:  Still no green light from the city for lessons.  I also wanted to address what has been brought to my attention by fellow kiters, students, and new comers. Over the past week there has been activity on the beach with other businesses providing lessons.  I know it is confusing to see other schools operating while we are posting that we are not permitted to teach yet, which is why I wanted to bring light to this.  To ensure the safety of my students, staff, and maintaining a positive relationship with the city of Long Beach I am following exactly what is allowed.  That is providing rental equipment to experienced individuals who can operate the kite on their own without the assistance of an instructor.  For the safety of individuals renting equipment and others on the beach we will not provide equipment to those who are still in the learning process without proper supervision and instruction provided by one of our instructors.  I want to be sure that I can provide the best possible experience to our students on the water.  If they are still learning I want to make sure someone is at their side to keep them safe while following the proper protocols put in place by the city.  I care more about safety and this sport than the bottom line.  The past few months have been difficult, but I will not compromise safe teaching to make a few extra dollars operating in disregard to a public health order. In the end I love teaching people this sport while keeping them as safe as I possibly can, and I will patiently wait until I am able to do this to the best of my abilities. This was not an easy post to make as I know it may ruffle a few feathers, but at the end of the day I want to be transparent to let you all know why I'm doing what I'm doing. We will be able to be out there again soon, and we have an entire season ahead of us! Thank you for checking by daily for our vlog and updates. I truly can't wait to tell you we are good to go! Until then, I am happy to provide as much help and service as I can within what I'm allowed to do. Hope everyone has a great start to their weekend and as always happy kiting.
