I've seen some of the older posts about kiting on Big Island, but thought I'd ask in a new post 'cause kiting gets bigger every year, and there's now a free place for me to stay, so hoping to get some kiting in on the big island.

What time of year is good and bad? kite size? I'm only 140lbs so 7m is my Squamish kite, and 10m is my light wind set up.

Is Anaehoomalu Bay the go-to spot?
Some posts make it sound pretty sketchy. Is it? I've been recreational kiting for about 7 years now, pretty confident, but I do still occasionally do something stupid that leads to a long walk or at our local beach it's just a quick and free jetski pick up. I don't want to end up drifting to Tahiti or beyond. One of those 'bring a buddy' kind of spots?

thanks everyone
