Here is the current situation:
No WIND in Alameda --> No KITEBOARDING for me --> I am getting WORSE --> even worse than worse (if POSSIBLE) --> I need a "SAFE" spot for sure --> I might kite in my SHOWER BOX...
Honestly, I am a little sad now... :( :( :( :( :(
BUT
THANK YOU ALL!
You are great, really!
How about south? Any beginner spots (without sharks) in Santa Cruz or Monterey?

Not sure what you are complaining about. I've been to Alameda the past three days getting 1.5- 2 hour sessions in with sufficient wind. I'm no Oceanographer, but the tide has been low which means you can stand far off the shore. Don't know what tomorrow brings, but it has been adequate for you to learn.

Sherman + Downwinder service is still a viable option I think -- at least as of this Saturday from what I heard
