Kiteboarding at Oval Beach / Saugatuck
There is a large dune overlooking the beach that generates a thermal
near the shore and extends out a short distance. This place fires on
a south or north when the sun is shining. It can be dead calm inland
and blowing stink at Oval on a south. This is a county launch that has
a toll. Turn left into the county parking lot. Turn right and you will
meet a large local gay population. Don't kite in your thong in this
place unless you want to meet some very interesting people.
