I'm heading down to Costa Rica for a family vacation in December - Dominical area. I'm just wondering if it's worth bringing kites or not. Has anyone ridden there?
Thanks
Costa Rica

Hi Elvis:
To forecast Bahia Salinas you have to check: 1) Windguru , but consider that if its blowing from NE the actual wind will be 80% more of what it shows.
2) Windfinder: go to forecasts, select the map for Costa Rica, when a green bubble appears SW of lake Nicaragua, it will blow
3)Buoyweather: select the closest point in the pacific
4)Finaly you can check the local weather forecast at http://www.imn.ac.cr (in spanish)
This method is working to find the good days in the rain season.
