 Sun Sep 15, 24 2:49 am Winter alternatives to Baja |

Been to Baja to kite many times. I’m seeking alternatives that are less than 10 hours flying time from PDX. Any recos? We only have a week of vacation time. Prefer waves and stronger wind.
Aruba?
Puerto Rico?
Turks and Caicos?
Panama?

Not sure about the rest...
NOT Turks and Caicos - it's crazy beautiful also $$$ and maybe one of the better learning spots with endless warm shallow water. Not so much with waves and strong winds.
That said we kited 7 of 7 days all on light wind gear - had a big smile on my face and memories that will last a lifetime...
Safe Travels,
Mc

i kited aruba about 10 years ago. Its not a place id recommend as a kite destination, though id tell you to take your kites if you were already going.
If you are into waves, check out peru. Its definitely worth being on your list.

| Pretty hard to beat Maui. 5-6 hour flight from PDX. Leave rainy Portland in the morning. On the water riding the big winter waves by early afternoon.
