    <summary type="html">Hey Aaron.

I would like to go kiting with you. I live in San Diego, but I can come to LA at the weekend (especially next weekend). I would need to rent all the kite equipment, because I left mine at home in Germany. Maybe you could help me out with finding a shop that offers rentals on kite gear. After that we can go kiting on the weekends.

My email: f.gaab(at)hsu-hh.de

Best regards,

    <summary type="html">My name is Aaron Campbell, I am a college-student majoring in Economics and Leadership Studies at Claremont McKenna College. I am currently living in Off-campus housing at USC and doing two internships for small-startups.  However, I am free most weekends and really want to get out and go kiting!

 I began taking Kitesurfing lessons 3 years ago, each summer. I got to the point where I could safely handle the kite, standup, and ride both ways. 

I then decided to buy my own equipment (got a 16m kite, harness and board) but I have not had a chance to use them yet as none of my friends share my interest in kiting.

 I am looking for a partner close to LA with more experience who could help me with finding good spots, rigging, and looking out for one another. I am a quick learner and have no doubt that after a few sessions with my own equipment I will be competent and safe.

I have my own car and equip as mentioned and I am a pretty laid-back guy with lots of beach experience (surfing and lifeguarding).

Let me know via this forum or email me at ACampbell11@cmc.edu

Thanks,
Aaron</summary>

I'm in South OC and just started to Kite in November.
I was luck enough to spend a couple weeks in La Ventana and am to the point of riding a bit but still not up wind.
If you are in South OC maybe we can carpool to Belmont and get some water time.

        Just moved to Lake Forest for work in Irvine from kite Meca ( Oregon ).   Thought I woud say hello and cast a line for some tips on finding wind  and some kite buds in Southern Cal.

     Don't really know anyone in the area,  only been here 2 weeks today and mostly just working and unpacking but I need my fix.   

    About me - I've been kiting for 4 years mostly in the Columbia Gorge and the Oregon coast but also in the Philippines, Taiwan, Florida, New Jersey, Utah (snow), and Idaho (snow).  I currently fly Caution Kites although I've flown others.  I am an IKO Instructor and will be checking with the local schools for work as and Instructor on weekends during peak season.  

      Would love to hear from and meet up with some of the local wind freaks so shoot me a message.

Kind Regards,

hey Brian 
I am little late to your post but I am always looking for someone to kite with, none of my friends do it - so I am always solo, usually at Belmont. Not very often but would like to go more.
