Not particularly big waves, but Bahias Salinas (costa rica) you're all but guaranteed wind, and lots of it. If it's blowing hard enough there are some small breaks off a few of the reefs, and/or in the next bay to the west. Otherwise there can be some big rollers in the middle of the bay (kind of bi...

personally I'd like to see a 6m! it would go really good with my quiver of 5,7,8,9.5,10,12m Ditto on the 6m, that would be the money size IMO, but I already have a 5m storm and am not planning on buying another kite until my current ones start falling apart on me, so my vote doesn't count for much....
