Hi all-
I've got a week off coming up at the end of June and I'll be headed up to the bay area (from SD). I'm hoping to get some kiteboarding in while I'm there and meet a few of the bay area crew.
I've been out to Sherman the last few times I've been up there but it was stormy, rainy, and thunderous both times. I've also pumped up at 3rd only to have the wind die and the poor souls who had launched had to swim back in. I'm really hoping this trip will be better!
I'd love some advice on where to go and what to bring. I just ordered a TD 12m and I've got all my SoCal light wind gear that I could lug along. I'll also be bringing my camera, so if you see me on the beach, smile!

SI rocks in June (generally.) I've ridden 5 out of the past 8 days-- skipped a few just to give my ancient body a break. If it's hot inland and foggy at the coast you're good to go. When the fog retreats, go farther west, plenty of options for you I'm sure.
Bring beer and we will smile for sure!

Thanks everyone who replied. I was able to kite Sherman on a 20m on Monday, 3rd on a 12m on Tuesday and even got in the water in Monterey over the weekend for a last-day-of-vacation-desperation-kite.
Mixed with some fun surf sessions in the cold water and a great wedding it turned out to be a great trip.
I had the camera at 3rd and have some pics of a few locals. I'll post them to my site soon and post the link here.
