Spot Details
I have mt board kited here a number of times and had a ball but have always been yelled at by Secret Service or Park Police. Large area, safe, nice grass, no major dangers--very nice if not for the security. The wind comes down the Potomac river and comes in relatively clean. There are some trees that block it a little but still decent wind usually. Look for West or ideally NW wind or even SE but I think NW is the most common and best.
