I guess mother nature know when I am not in Florida. It has been windy this last month in my kiting spot (Fort Pierce area). I know as soon I can make it back to FL, it will just stop blowing.

Be sure to make it back before mid May and you should be OK, I hope!

More than a few folks must have made it out over the last few days, how was it?

The wind is clocking offshore here today otherwise would keep going. There is always tomorrow though when it is supposed to return to side onshore.

It continues, amazing, even tonight! The wind was side off and was to shift sideshore around midnight. Come quiting time it was already close to side shore so I headed down and sure enough it was already bent parallel to shore at the coast. Blowing strong too. Did some wind checks and figured the 13 m would cover it. Rigged it as small as I could by trimming. It was manageable but had me asking myself why bother, smarter to rig smaller? Went in and rigged a bit too small with a 7 m. I could lock it in at times particularly offshore. It is amazing how differently a 7 m flies compared to a 13 m! A really fine ground swell was setting up about 250 ft. off the beach in otherwise fairly calm water. More wind in the forecast tomorrow. Who got some water time today?
