We rode at a new spot in Galveston yesterday (2Mar10). It is located off of sportmans drive at the end of 8th street. See pics below. Great shallow spot with lots of islands to play with and around. Was great on a North West wind, but could be even better with a westerly wind. For more info call the shop. There is some obsticals out there and the launch is a bit tricky, but if you pump you kite up and walk it to the nearest island it isn’t too bad.
