Central FLA Launch Sites?
 
Can anyone tell me some good launch sites near Orlando?
I am headed there for a few days and am debating on whether or not to bring my gear.

Thanks in advance!
Peace!


There will be a fair amount about launches throughout Florida available here soon under: KITEBOARDING AT ... launches, precautions, SCHOOLS, SHOPS, meets, local groups and more"

Since you are driving to Orlando in a few days, I will toss out some information in advance of everything being pulled together. On the East Coast there is a fair amount of information around the Cocoa Beach area (about an hour to the east of Orlando), at Laitham's site at:

Jeff Wiess has a lot of good info as well at:

and on the west coast (about 2 1/2 hours away from Orlando) at:

http://www.kitemare.com/Tampa%20St.P...teboarding.htm

For weather forecasts on both coasts you can checkout:

http://www.srh.noaa.gov/tbw/

The wind may be a bit light by the forecast but who knows it could come on nicely, better prepared than caught out without gear.

Have a fun trip!
