We'll be flying some kites on Revere Beach! These kites are 2-3m in size, and in groups of two people per kite, you will learn the basics of kitesurfing! We will be standing on the beach, learning how to fly and control a kite that has some pull. Flying them should be fun, and ideally, you will learn how to fly them "blind" - without looking where they are. This is a great activity on its own, but is also an excellent preparation if you plan to learn kitesurfing in the future.
We will meet on the beach around 2pm, and I will confirm the exact time the evening before so that I can take the latest wind forecast into account. We will meet near the Wonderland T station, so on the North side of Revere Beach. If you have cars you can give each other a ride, or you can come up taking the Red and then Blue Line. The activity will take about 1.5 hours.
Please bring water, sunscreen, a hat, and some footware so you don't cut your feet on the shells on the beach! If there are more people than slots, I will consider holding two sessions back to back, so keep signing on!
