Coastal kiting
On Saturday, Georg (a german kiter who lives in the Bay Area since about 5 years) invited me to join him for kiting at the pacific coast. Actually, I wanted to go kiting at 3rd Ave again because of the nice wind forecast, but since the weather was so good I decided to go for it and check out the coast.
We went to a beach called ‘Gazos Creek Beach’ (or something like that) which is located about 25 miles north of Santa Cruz. The good thing is that there are so many beaches/creeks along the pacific coast that there are only a few people around and you have lots of space.
Since the wind was good, I decided to rig my 9m Waroo which turned out to be the perfect size for this day. It was the first time for me to kite on a spot with waves so it was a bit tricky first to surf over the waves out on the water. Eventually, I got used to it and had A LOT of fun out there.
Here are a few pics and a video (sorry for the bad quality, I only had my phone with me):
Stay tuned, next time I will introduce you to Sherman Island and my ‘home-spot’ - 3rd Ave (San Mateo)
