I learned to windsurf there back in the early '80's - and I remember the gusty wind. Went back a couple of years ago and looked for some kiting spots. It looked like either drift launch off a boat or off the State park beach on a south wind or maybe at the end of Smith Mt Lake Parkway on a E, W, or ...

I went to TC last year for two weeks. The only wave kiting I scored was out on the reef in front of hotels in Provo. The wind has to have some north in it for that to work. Also be careful of the shallow reef - there are some deeper sandy breaks but you have to find them. But we did take a trip up t...

Can be cold so you might need a 4/3 or better.

Yep, a friend did it and placed middle of the pack in the Cabrinha Race Series in SF.

He cut down an old JP board to about 6' (that should take out the nasty tail rocker).

I took a look at the wind archives for last march at Waddell:

6 days - light
8 days - no data
remaining days 20+

But we can have years with lots of rain and little wind too.

If the surf is too large - just head to the bay (3rd Ave or Crissy) ~50 miles from Waddel.
