T he 2011 kiting season in nothern California was not something I look back to with much fondness. Sherman overall had about the worst wind that I have ever seen there in 20 years. And as if that weren't bad enough, I went and broke my foot in early June, putting me on the disabled list and keeping me off the water until late August. When I finally was able to return, I was relegated to riding the surfboard strapless - not my favorite style for Sherman - until my bone fully healed and my muscles strenghened enough to to be safe riding freestyle on the twintip in straps. By the time I was fully recovered, the season was over. Basically it was a seaon I would pretty much like to forget.

S o, it was with particular enthusiasm that I set out once again for La Ventana, Baja California Sur in search of sun, water, wind, and whatever. I was not to be disappointed. I was blessed with some of the most consistent wind I have ever had in Baja. And on the few days that it didn't blow, there was plenty of other stuff to do, or not do, as usual. It was enough to make the misery of the previous northern California season a distant memory. Just what the doctor ordered. Nice!
