I know it's a little early, but could I get some good kiteing? bdennis Since 01 Jun 2007 50 Posts   Thu Jan 30, 14 4:02 pm     I'm thinking your better bet is central CA. THats usually where I like to go in April eabmoto Since 10 May 2012 123 Posts seattle Stoked Thu Jan 30, 14 4:07 pm     I'm starting my trip in the bay area. Maybe I'll spend more time down there.

You're unlikely to get a lot of classic summer NW'erlies, but you can score some glorious sunny southerlies in the spring with the potential for big fun terrain. If you also surf you're going to find scores. eabmoto Since 10 May 2012 123 Posts seattle Stoked Thu Jan 30, 14 5:27 pm     Awesome, I'm as happy surfing as I am kiteing.

I have always had luck down south that time of year. Might luck into some good conditions.

Best to leave all possibilities on the table and go with what presents itself as the best option at that time. I have scored some of the best kitesurfing that Oregon coast has to offer (northerlies) during April or you could find yourself launching your smallest kite in gale force southerlies and sideways rain. Anything is possible that time of the year!

Now it's just up to luck. doubledogdare Since 31 Aug 2005 11 Posts Cali   Sat Feb 01, 14 11:11 pm    Kitexpo Cali in April?
