Showing all 22 destinations.
modelled windy
The modelled series at one of the destination's spots puts March at half its days or more with three or more hours over 12 knots. That share is enough on its own: a spot here may or may not also name March among its best months.
riders' months
A spot names March among its best months while the model reads under half. Both figures are drawn and neither is adjusted.
no series
No spot at the destination carries a usable modelled series, so the months are the ones riders and schools name.
5 destinations
A spot's modelled series reaches 50% of March days or more. That share is enough on its own: a destination here may or may not also have a spot naming March among its best months.

Ordered by the modelled share of windy days in March where a spot carries a series (10 of 22 here); where a destination groups several spots, the share shown is the best of them, and the spot it was modelled at is printed under the figure on every card.
The USA country guide covers visa, money, driving and the rules that apply everywhere in the country. Where to kitesurf in March lists the 259 destinations in season elsewhere this month.
USA has three or more destinations in season in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December.
Type the carrier you are flying: what it charges for a kite bag, and the year of the policy that says so.
