I'm traveling in the area in May. Staying a few days in St Charles. Any tips on the best spots to kiteboard?
Thanks, Pat

Pat, like Kevin said it all depends on wind......and STL is not known as a wind destination !

You can try Creve Ceour lake, if wind from North or South with west in it.  Difficult spot (at least for me) since wind is non-smooth and there is not much room to launch/recover.  The east side of lake is where we kite from.

The next spot would be Carlyle lake or Rend lake, both in Illinois. 

After that, make the 4-hour drive to Kansas City.  Smithville lake is pretty cool.  There is a great group out there that can advise you further on KC action.
