Looking to the NE across the inlet

Thanks for the heads up Greg. For those that may not know it, Ft. Pierce particularly south of the inlet can be outstanding in N to NE winds. There are several wave breaks as you proceed offshore. The water south of the south jetty is fairly calm even in strong winds. It reminds me of Maui when conditions are ideal. It is too far off to predict at this point but it wouldn't surprise me if there were good riding conditions that weekend. Ft. Pierce offers some outstanding shredding, it isn't that far away either.

Sounds like a great post Thanksgiving Day event!

Coming up fast next weekend! Kiting is going off in Florida! Yesterday the Tampa Kitemasters, next weekend this great event in Ft. Pierce and within a few weeks the Grand Tour along the coast of SE Florida, the Jupiter to Ft. Lauderdale Run!

Fingers crossed for a good front to blast through Ft. Pierce for next weekend, the riding, people and event should be great!

It won't be as big at this but there should be some nice waves breaking well offshore with sheltered water closer to the south side of the inlet.

and this to be a "Mystery Guest" hmmm, wonder who?
