where to fly

[ksnap]

hello,

i live in the bay area and would like to find some places to fly my flexi power kite. i really hope to eventually learn to kite surf, but first i would like to get good w/ the kite on its own. i have tried to fly at various beaches but crowding makes this dangerous and i was once chased off a beach around maimi for flying. where are the kite friendly beaches. I see on the news that people have places to buggy so land kiting has to be good somewhere down here.

thanks
kevin
