Kitesurfing in Corpus Christi Bay: Conditions, Wind & Season
Corpus Christi is one of the best kitesurfing locations in the US. It actually includes several spots around the huge bay, where you can find the most suitable for your riding style, and it is probably the windiest kite area in the country, according to wind average statistics. Among the countless launching points, the best known are Wildcat Park Portland, probably the windiest one, Grassy Point Corpus Christi with its flatwater channels, and Oso Bay a flatwater spot behind a long sandbank.
Being the area so full of kite spots it would be quite long to quote them all a after way is to check out the following linked google map, kindly shared by Kynan Stevenson:
Another great plus, thanks to the myriad of available kite spots in the area, consists in the fact that most of them are completely uncrowded and most of the time you can find yourself in the water with no more than 5-6 kiters.
