From here (La cruz de Huanacaxtle):

That whole beach was covered in 285 kites!

to here (Maritima Playa Flamingos Nuevo Vallarta):

The wind was a bit swirly on the beach because of that hill to the West. As a newbie playing it safe, I body dragged out past that little point before getting up on board. Most just launched off beach, of course.
