Hey there, I've messed around on 3m trainers but am relativity new to power kiting. I just ordered a Peter Lynn twister 5.6 and want to go fly! I live close to the marina green, but could easily get to any beach/ park.

I'm experienced at wakeboarding/ snowboarding/ skating so the obvious next step would be getting a mountainboard.
Anyone fly around this area?

There's a group that flys in your area near Mountain View. They buggy at shoreline park almost every day. I buggy at the marina green park during the San Francisco kite festival. That place is tiny!!

Thanks Van! ill have to check out shoreline park.

Marina green is small but there's a few other large green areas and a beach right next to it.

I couldn't imagine trying to fly during SFKF... that would be a little hectic.

Ocean beach is a good place to fly as well. Not as many still fly there because of trouble in the past with a ranger not allowing buggies and boards on the beach. But I believe it is still ok to fly static out there.
