Kite in January?hi from Belgium!

Post by rootskiter » Fri Oct 30, 2009 12:45 am

Hi guys,

I am coming to Sf for a month in january and i was guessing if there 's a lot of kiters riding at this season and if the forecast are good and the wind's there.

Is it worth bringing my gear over or do you know some good rental program around ?

In belgium we are use to wear a 5/3 wet suit and ride sometimes with 2 degrees outside and 5 in the water so cold weather is all right....

Thanks for all the infos possible about your area. It will be nice to meet new kiters, make new experiences about new places and party if some wants to join for a beer.

Cheers for all.
:)

You are basically screwed if you really want to kite here bad, bad time to pick Northern California as a kiting destination this time of year. But if you must, its possible, do a search for winter date time stamps from last year.

Caution (not the kite brand, but the conditions):
