The self-billed number-one kite school in the world, and the reason Waves exists on kite maps: a full campus with lesson center, flagship shop, private grassy launch and the L-shaped island that creates the butter-flat REAL Slick just south — with Watermen's Retreat beside it so students sleep on the property line.
