Damn that's a good deal! Sorry to hear you're leaving wind chasing behind. I have found the wind is a cruel mistress, even more fickle and hard to catch than surfing. As a surfer, it always seems blown out; then as a beginner kiter, you realize most of those days are actually not windy enough to kite, just enough to wreck the surf but you can't use it for wind fun. Winging is worse, as you need even more wind than kiting for it to work well.
It's easy if you live in Maui or other places with consistent strong winds, you can get away with simple gear -- a 1-kite, 1-wing, 1-foil quiver -- as you can just go when it's good and do something else when it's marginal. But when you live somewhere with more fickle conditions, you may end up chasing highly variable conditions to get your fix, which means throwing money at the problem, so you have the gear you need for whatever conditions you find when you show up at the beach. Then you need a sprinter van to hold it all: sup foil, surf foil, kite foil, 2 wings, 6 kites (2 bars, harness), kitesurf board, kite twintip, oh yeah and a surfboard just in case it's perfect waves.
My impression of SoCal is light winds, iffy kiting, and probably iffy winging too. The dog has its day, I'm sure, but if you have an abundance of foilable waves, you can probably give up the wind without losing your fun quotient.
