new to kiteboarding had lessons now just trying to get out.

I just started kiteboarding last summer (2014) And. ..well
I love it. I suck but I love it. Is there any place in bellingham wa where a new rider can practice with out getting in the way ? But still meet people?
Also all I have is a 10.5m kite so until skills are built my wind speed is limited.....
was told to stay around 10-15 mph.
I know locus is good I just can't remember what direction of wind is ideal,
if anyone can help out that would be great!
