Hello, just driving back from Oakland Airport on Doolittle and wondering if the Estuary is Kiteable, or if anyone has gone there. I have know idea about regulations, depth, water quality, suitable launches or safe "outs". I did see a jet skier launching into this lagoon. The wind seemed to touch down most evenly east of the golf course below the hill, I'm sure the more east you go the better. In any case it caught my attention as it was perfectly flat water with no activity, and quite large. -stef

I rode there... SHHHHHH It is my secret spot... Those hot days when the strong wind comes from the NE.... This is the place to go.... The ONLY place to go... Keep an eye on the Oakland Airport sensor.... I tried this late last year and launched from the park closest to the airport.... Very muddy.. but a grassy rigging area.. I hit the tail end of the winds on my 15m... but earlier in the day it had been blowing 25ish form the NE.... Alameda beach was totally unsailable but this place was on....
