sfprop, you spoke in the past tense . . .no more windsurfing for you? I have a buddy who tells me sailing around the bay bridge was incredible. It sounds like you certainly have had the good fortune to windsurf several of the premier spots on the planet!
Mike and Rose, kite surfing looks fun indeed, and I agree, less equipment or at least, less weight and bulk to carry. When first getting into windsurfing, a neighbor and I considered Kite surfing--I actually wanted him to teach me hang gliding but he flat refused--he had a bad experience with a student who didn't listen very well(I wonder if he was trying to tell me something? :h). We figured windsurfing first--it's a safer way to learn the wind and board action--then apply that to kite surfing which looks a bit harder and more dangerous.
OOps--edit--just saw the post from Deb and Ed, Thanks for the tip. I definitely prefer warmer no wetsuit necessary conditions. Regarding the sharks, very timely of you to bring that up as DW DVR'd every episode from shark week discovery recently :E We were thinking of heading to Hatteras (NC outer Banks) soon as we need to check on dear old dad (my dad) soon down in SC. Perhaps a pit stop in MI at Little Sable Point
