where we sailed was San Francisco bay area and close by Sacramento river delta. At a place Coyote point on by SF airport it used to get to 20=25 knots almost every day, as the years went by the wind blow out of the west more a than typical Northwest, as a result the wind died and became vary sporadic, a lot of people stopped sailing some took up Kite but was not enough to save the business, Why did the wind shift?? my opinion is that the east bay area saw tremendous growth and because of the heating and cooling of the land now covered with concrete and houses it changed the wind pattern, my opinion
and then it died... i was in the business and to me what killed it was technology and the resulting cost, nobody could afford it, then kite came in but wasn't enough to save it
