I'm looking for another beginner to partner with for beginner kitesurfer. Launching, landing, long walks back up beach, general moral support. I've got all of 4 days of experince under my belt. Been up on my board maybe half a dozen times.

Alameda would be great if the wind ever returns there. Otherwise I'm thinking of heading down to Waddel (went there yesterday to watch; wind was mild and waves only knee high).

... if you're looking for a beginner area other than Alameda you should check out Bodega Bay harbor. If it's not foggy on the coast the wind is much stronger than anywhere else (including Waddell) and the water is only 1-2 feet deep. Windsurfers have to watch the tides but it's no problem for kiters. I learned there last year after spending a couple of frustrated days at Alameda because the wind was too light. The only catch: Convenient parking is limited (but it's never crowded on the water.)

Mike-

I just took a water lesson Sunday with about 50 feet of successful ride time. I'm very intersted in partnering up to figure this sport out.

send me an e-mail or give me a call.

Hey Guys,

I too am looking for some people to go to kitesurfing with. I have some experience walking up the beach at Alameda. I rode about 10 times last year. I have not been out this year yet.

Give me a call. I am available weekdays more often than weekends.

newbies UNITE!!!

Michael,

I think I'm at the same stage you are. Took lessons two weeks ago, have been out a half dozen times and have drank a gallon or 2 of tasty bay water.

I live in Danville & work in sales so i do have a pretty flexible schedule.

(yeah, replace AT with @ and DOT with .)

Same here, I know the kites well (a few years of experience) but still didn't figure out how to stay on the board in the water. I also know a lot about kites in general and can help with gear problems (especially foils and FS).
