Picnic Island
 

To get to picnic island take westshore south past gandy and go all the way to the end. If you look on google earth its the far SW tip of the Interbay Peninsula with beach facing west. S, SW, NW, N winds are good, just try to check the tide because a lot of water moves along that beach during the large tides. If you've a N wind and outgoing tide you'll need a lot of wind. On a S or SW you can work upwind of the point and kite a beautiful flat next to macdill afb that local fisherman refer to as the community hole. Wolfman and Barrs did that the other day and said it was killer. Just don't go past the Off limit signs that are around the AFB grass flats or you may have some company like the coast gaurd. Big brother can see that boundary loud and clear from the traffic control tower at the base and when boats cross it they're on 'em in no time. Also wear foot protection due to some rocks just off the beach and a little glass here and there. :)

16-20knots = 16m
18-23knots = 14m
20-26knots =......14m
26+knots...........?????? depends on if went to the beach alone or did i bring my conscience :lol:

16-20kts on the 16m ...>>>>> thats a dog, U R not getting any range on that. 4 kts???

14m >>>> any c kite should be able to give U 8kts range ( unless its a 20m+ kite )

26+kts did U get UR <10m kite yet???

my 16m will work in 14-15 knot range, but id rather get worked on my 21m then have to work my 16m, and ofcourse i dont have a kite smaller then 14m.......
im working on it though, hopefully ill have one by hurricane time, maybe a 9m that i can ride to about 35 or so
