I kite at Malibu and Long Beach mostly, so I am used to lighter winds, but I have kited
in Baja and Maui among other places. I have a 13 m2 LEI that I use mostly in So Cal,
but also a 8m2 flysurfer pulse II for stronger wind that I use when it is (rarely) windier.
I weigh 190 pounds and am pretty solidly intermediate.
I will be in SF for a conference next week, and was hoping to check out 3rd avenue.
Any tips for what size kite I will likely need given the winds there on average?
Thanks in advance,
SoCal intermediate kiter in the Bay Area next week

It normally blows in the mid twenties so you would probably want to have something like a 9m

Thanks for the response. Forecast looks pretty dismal though for this week (Monday-Wednesday).
Just my luck! I've been skunked at the Gorge, La Ventana, Brazil, and now maybe in the Bay.
