There is a beach bar "Tortuga Beach Bar" at Boca Grandi..it is owned/operated by Pro Kite School Aruba but open to all. Cold Beer and alcohol as well as burgers and chicken.

GoPro...biggest bad luck charm I've ever owned.

Practically everytime I fire it up...I'll yardsale into a kitemare.

Keep practicing your weak side...in time you'll come up with a technique that'll prolly have your weak side boosting higher than your strong side.
