This almost happened at rush Thursday afternoon (cars, not tree)
Seem to me to be no brainer to launch downwind of hard objects.

Marty,
I remember my first season that you suggested that along with launching down wind of obstacles that I launch with my kite towards the water. Seems like a no-brainer now. But at the time I wasn't aware enough to realize that it'd be better to get drug in to the water than back away from the water and in to cars, rocks and bushes....
Thanks for looking out.
Andy
