Could someone please link me to a google map with the best places to put in for kiteboarding near Corpus Christi or Port Aransas? I'm thinking of heading out the on Friday.

Definitely hook up with another PKF member if you can. If you find your stars crossed though, it looks like Jeff from ProKiteSurf might have some useful info for you:

Woogly :wee:

This is a basic rundown of where to go... It looks like there may be some wind this weekend...

Make sure you bring at least a 12m kite....If you want to ride the gulf come to port a... If there's wind i'll be out......

Thanks for the info, guys. Looks like I'm going to skip it this weekend. Wind doesn't look good anymore. Maybe next week...

Gem,
You might keep an eye on Lake P if you're staying up in CenTex.
Might not be enough for your 10m but you could still practice self launching and landing. I'm thinking about heading out there if the forecast gets a bit better. Showing 15mph in the morning now on ikitesurf.

I'm heading out to OSP for some kite skatebaording right now if you're up for it. Should be there till about 5.

wind looks good here :)... drive times about the same, too

*by here i mean galveston

Dang...Galveston does look tempting. The only good spot in the state for wind over the weekend. I need my fix again after riding the surf at Port A. Have to do some early morning sessions.

Where are you going to ride Dylan?

i will be hitting the beach as early as i can... prob around 8 oclock... i like the exit right after the state park, headed south... i think its beach access 17, but the wind looks like it will favor the exit right before the state park... either way, the park is off limits to traffic and has less swimmers than the rest of the access points

* ill be there sunday am
