    "per hour" is part of the unit "knot", no need to say "knots per hour". 😊

      Using average daily wind speed measured over a year and measured at airports, you miss out on some of the best places to kite. I think you could do a “Best locations to kite” video. This would be a very different top 10.
      Metrics could be :
      Beach sand quality
      Wind reliability and strength
      Water temperature
      Lifestyle and amenities
      Stability and safety for travel
      Cost of living
      Variety and access ability of spots.
      Somewhere maybe pro’s train?
      It would be a very short list.
      Perth, Western Australia! 🤩😎❤️

      @@actionsportswa3803 valid point! We did think about it, only issue is how do you quantify a "best location" to kite in. There are a lot of variables besides wind speed, waves or flat water. From our biased view wind gradient is as equally important. Point is it's hard to make such video without experiencing spots first hand

      @@JamesLamb SF Bay is consistent but tends to be lighter in the summer. The gorge gets higher winds, but they can be gustier; the Sacramento River Delta is more similar. I'm surprised the authors couldn't find better Hood River data because several iKitesurf meteorologists are based here. (Also thegorgeismygym.com is a good resource). You are correct SF Bay has almost daily fog banks (marine layer) pushing in, forcing pressure gradients through the passes (like the San Bruno pass fueling Third Avenue).
      Anecdotally, here in the gorge I regularly use 5m, 7m, and 9m. (I have an 11m Neo I normally use in SPI, Texas but go for bike rides on 11m Hood River days ;). My 'bay area' quiver is 7m, 10m, 12m... used to have a 14m but traffic getting so bad there made it less than worth keeping.

    Nice documentary and well researched (seems like somebody has lot's of Corona-induced-time ;). Rio Gallegos is actually pronounced "Rio Ga-Che-gos" (like the che in Che Guevara), it's the double-l in Castellano :).

      Thanks for letting us know! We Googled every single name we didn't know how to pronounce but in the case of Rio Gallegos there were multiple audio clips that all sounded different so just went with our best guess

    Yay, stoked to see NZ not only on the list, but at #1!
    Wellington is a miserable hole though, lived there for a year.... mind you I wasn't kiting then, but its uninviting

    • @OurKiteLife
      @OurKiteLife  4 роки тому

      Is it uninviting because of the wind? As much as we'd love wind for kiting, we wonder if it gets annoying otherwise

    For a long time, Mt. Washington (New Hampshire US) held the record "gust" - but it's not a city or place you'd go kiteboarding! Fortunately, it was fairly calm on the day I was with a group hiking up it many years ago. There's a road to the weather station at the top, so the hike is a bit anti-climactic. www.mountwashington.org/about-us/history/world-record-wind.aspx

    Average annual isn't really the right metric. How about 'kitesurf useable' days? San Francisco surely would be on the list.

    It's ironic, cuz I live 45ish minutes away from Wellington, and wind is my least favourite weather.

    I'd 100% pick Wellington to live. I mean... I have a wind fetish. In fact, I may just plan a month long vacation there (after all, I still want to live in the US, because constitutional freedoms).

    Interesting though not particularly useful for finding your next (quality) sailing destination. Well presented though less vocal fry would make a little easier on the ears. Thank you.
