I'm flying down to that general area Saturday morning, picking up (buying) a Honda Pilot with my friend, then driving it back up, so I was debating taking a couple kites...

What to do? Rolling Eyes

I've had good luck in the Malibu area, not sure about this time of year though.

Adam,

Are you driving the coast all the way to SF? If so, bring the kites. There are some great places to kite along the way.

Malibu, Leo Carillo
C-Street, ventura
East Beach in Santa Barbara
Santa Cruz
Wadell's
Half Moon Bay

Are a few that come to mind.

If you bring a surfboard there are a ton of great spots to paddle out!

Hi folks;

Thanks everyone for the quick replies. Santa Barbara is a little further than I had planned but C-street and Malibu are definitely doable.

thanks,

jc

this time of year, bring your surfboard....

best time is summer with thermal winds

winter is very spotty - summer is best

don't go out in a santa anna offshore winds
