On average how long does it take you guys to get to the beach when you go out?

Live in Palmetto I-275 Exit 2, takes 10-12 minutes to get to the North rest area, about 4 minutes less to get to the South rest area...more to get to EB, LP, etc obviously.

My vote can count as 3 because Amber and Steve live there too!!!

From Seminole to EB or Skyway it's about 45 minutes.

Anywhere along the beach for a NW-W wind it takes about 2.

I figured most of you guys were pretty close. I'm surprised to hear how far you live Inferno. As much as you talk about being on the water at 4am I figured you were right on the water, lol. :lol:

If I'm able to ride here in Tampa maybe 15-30 min depending on the beach. If I have to go to St. Pete then it takes me at least 50 min. Wish I could have a house right in front of EB near by the flag poll. :o

Who can top Lutz? AKA B.F.E.

45 minutes to an hour depending if the flux capicitor is working in the Element. I need a fuse that can handle 2.5 Jigawatz. PEPBOYS is out of stock and wont have them in until 2030. :?

Depends on which part of Lutz. I technically don't live there anymore since I moved near USF a few months back, but I'm close enough I still consider myself in Lutz.

i used to live there, if you do a DP ( a true 6am DP) you can make it to the SW in 40min tops...

WOW! This poll has turned into a 'who can bitch about having to drive the longest to get to ride' thread... :lol:

for all of us in north tampa we should team up and go out to honey moon which is a 20 minute drive and no crowds. :D

I can walk out my back door pump up my kite on a compressor and launch my kite from my back yard. Thats for riding the slick. For the ocean its a 5min walk but then I have to hand pump my kite.

I live in Palm Harbor too but I just take the ski out into the gulf and ride there. I never rode at the Skyway since it was a bit of a drive. Some weekends I ride on Anna Maria because I am visiting friends, maybe I'll have to stop there and check it out. It would be nice to ride with other people since I am usually by myself. I hear at night the Skyway is the place to go, I work until 3am so I'll be taking advantage of that I guess.

Yeah - it's not bad on the weekends either.

I live in Death Valley (Palm Harbor - US19 between Klosterman and Alderman roads). Depending on the time to get out on 19 and making the suicide U-turn across 4 lanes of traffic, I can get to Sunset Beach in Tarpon Springs in around 15 minutes. Once Belcher road is finished up to Klosterman road I should be able to make it in 10. I've made the trip several times after checking the wind meter at Howard Park and when I got there... no wind. If I had to drive 45 minutes to get to a launch site and got skunked, I would go nuts.
