Miller Beach? Michigan City? St. Joseph? Let's see if the wind direction changes as predicted, and what the really experienced guys say.
You have excellent descriptions how to get there on the forum.
I am planning to hit the water around 10 am if everything goes well.

I'm looking to kite tomorrow, thinking Miller with NW forecast. Mark, it will as usual probably be better the further up the Michigan coast you go, hopefully people will post where they're planning to be. I'm hoping to make the shortest drive.

Well, it wasn't too bad at all, until at least 1 pm, when it died down pretty quickly. I've seen clearer waves in my life - but for a guy just learning to ride in these conditions, still quite a thrill.
Thanks our Canadian Guest for keeping an eye on me when I crashed.
