Hi Guys and Gals,
I am traveling from overseas to visit family and friends at home in the BA . I still call the BA home although I have not lived there for years!
I have not yet kitesurfed in the bay waters but plan to do so next week when visiting. I am praying to the wind Gods for good wind.
I do not want to deal with the hassle of traveling with a board. Kites are easy to deal with. I also have to deal with my young dauther's stuff. Never fun when passing through airports.
Perhaps you can steer me to a shop that rents or does demos (i.e. try and buy). Any ideas are appreciated.
Tear it up!
Tim
Renting a kiteboard in the BA?

Hi Folks,
Thanks for the input. I just learned a buddy has a board he can loan me. I am waiting on the dims.
Just in case, where is Kite Wind Surf located (Alameda, Berkeley or Oakland)?
Mmmm............. the downwinder sounds fun! Never done a long haul downwinder B4. What is the typical kite size used for an average guy 170lbs?
Cheers,
Tim

Typical kite size for the downwinder, depending on conditions, would be a 12, although if one was done yesterday, it would have been a 10 for sure. It's a blast!
