About Hawkers
Works well at low tide, when lagoons and flat still water appear. As the tide fills in the water gets deeper, but apart from a bit of chop this is really a wave sheltered spot. Typical Cornish blue clear water. Situated in a large estuary, if you loose your board out in the water here you may not get it back if the tide is ebbing. Be carefull of ditching your kite on an ebbing tide, failure to relaunch will mean you get sucked out to sea, past a lot of steep cliffs and unnavigable rocks - you'd be screwed.
