Head east of downtown Dallas past the I635 LBJ intersection through Garland to the first bridge over Lake Ray Hubbard. Take the Dalrock exit to the right turn to Robertson Park and drive to the southwest part.
No beginners please - dangerous rocky launch. Ask around for times when we'll be kiting to get help dialing in this precious and only good south launch in the D/FW area. Look out for fishing lines (and rotting bait by the bucket) and sudden drops in the wind leaving you to self rescue down wind or walk your kite back up the crowded beach. For North days in fall and winter go to The Power Plant or Terry Lane. Windsurfers launch downwind of the kitesurfers.
