| Anyone know where to kite near Bandon. Haven't been down there in a long time but have a golf trip in April and was tempted to bring my kites. Any info helpful especially spots near the golf course.

I heard you can see kiters while on the golf course, through the goarse(sp?).
It may be private property though.

hey troll, is that your best?...really tho 
The Riding near Bandon is great. Whiskey run would be the first call, I've kited at face rock (south access) and its good, nice breaks and fun rocks to jump over Floras lake is south of bandon and is a very good spot for flat water. (usually pretty crowed in the summer)

Coos bay is around 45 miles north of Bandon, There is a lot of good area to ride up there, Mainly on the dune side of the bay(north of town). Go to North Winds Kite Shop in coos bay to get familair with the local scene, they'll show ya all the good spots.

Also, if the wind is light, head south to Pistol River - great surfing and kiting.

Pistol river is a lot better for windsurfing,.....
You'll want to park/launch down by the actual river, and not up by all the windsmurfers. There is a lot of big rocks that disrupt the wind. And watch out for the Riptides....pretty fast outgoing current where the river mouth is. i reckon its average winds around 40knts, so bring your smallest kite.
-oh and i guess i could mention sharks Huge breeding ground,...huge
PLOVERS- stay out of the fordune area, stay on the wetsand/waves....thats the last i heard about the PLOVER.
