Peanut Island
 

Has anyone kited around this island. Friends of mine are camping up there next weekend and I may go.... if I can kite.

I never have but recently heard someone suggest it. The downside is some substantial wind shadow from most directions likely resulting in uneven, gusty winds with lulls. The current a bit east around the inlet jetties is INTENSE at certain parts of the tide. It may build up around the island at some times as well to a lesser degree. It looks like they may have a sand bottom off the south end of the island.

It would be clutch http://www.kiteforum.com/phpbb/image...icon_thump.gif

But there’s just far to much boat traffic around the Island on weekends, which by the way is the reason to go. It's a blast ~n~ being spring break and all:D

There's a huge sand bar on the NNE side of the Island that would defiantly be fun on a E-ENE wind.

I spoke w/a guy up in Stuart and he said that there’s some sand bars inside the St Lucie Inlet, over by sewells point that are good flat water spots (you need a boat to get to them) on an E-NE wind. I've seen some pic's looks like butter.

Sounds like I might have to give it a try and let you guys know!

I am headed down to Bahia Honda for some wide open, uncrowded Butter flat water this weekend. I think we almost have the upwind down. I am hoping a day in perfect conditions will help =-).
