Is there a chance I will have wind ?

because when I see windguru & windfinder : 10 , 11 knots ..... :-"

Good chance for wind in July, but you know how weather is.

[super_monkey]

The wind will get significantly weaker as you move south but in the SF Bay Area a 9m should be ideal if you're not too big of a guy. I don't own anything bigger than a 9m and fly Vegas' as well.

[Bulldog]

Yeah, just bring your 9M. No reason to haul a lawnmower up here. :-"

[adamrod]

yeah. bring your 9m. should be fine. you should get a good number of windy days up here....but down in so-cal you're gonna want that 12.

thanks guys !

i've reserved an extra place for my boardbag ! So I will bring both !

what do I need from wetsuit ? shorty ? normal wetsuit ?


and are there also kiteboarders in santa barbara , santa cruz , los angeles ?


Grtz , Olivier ! O:)

Sherman or inland rivers 2 to 3 mm should suffice. Bring your shortie.
Coast - 4 mm full wetsuit, be on the safe side in case you break down and have a long swim.
