On a windy and unusually foggy day, Kinsley ThomasWong and I set off to find an<br />

unknown kiteboarding spot on the California coast. <strong>The</strong> cryptic directions to this spot<br />

describing “a hole in a fence and a path leading to the horizon” came from kiteboarding<br />

boat captain Kevin Windfield and led to several long hikes ending in rocky overlooks and<br />

disappointment. When one long hike into the fog ended at a sandy beach, we rigged up,<br />

not knowing if we had found the spot described to us. Just before we hit the water, the<br />

fog lifted, slowly revealing our surroundings and giving us our answer: We had found it.”<br />
