i would like to go kiting at Crissyfield.
Is the launching for the kite , at the same place where the windsurfers start?
I assume, you need to carry a VHF with you, in case something goes wrong and a huge supertanker is coming on you; any tips for what to buy, and where to buy it.
thanks a lot

I went to Crissy not too long ago and talked to a local. I was surprised to learn that the wind blows slightly offshore, it seems more offshore than cross shore. As I stood on the beach and watched others launching for about 5 minutes, a gust of wind blew leaves and seaweed resting behind me, straight into the surf infront on me. It would seem that this would be less than ideal when you have gear issues out on the water, as you will be blown towards Berkley.
Was this normal wind direction or was it a case of wind turbulence rolling over the hills?
