IF you want to try kiting there you may need to wait for stronger winds. They will likely come with pronounced lulls making kiting more difficult and dangerous if something goes wrong. I wouldn't worry too much about kiting this summer, it's hard I know. The main wind you are likely to see is from storms and perhaps thermals (which may be accompanied by storms). Wait until the fall when the cold fronts start to come through again, skip the squall lines at the leading edge and consider using the more steady winds (but likely still gusty inland), that fill in behind. Some more ideas about inland kiting which you should carefully read over appear at: http://kiteforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2297514 You will find riding on the coast to be a lot more fun and easier. As you say, getting there can be a problem. reposted from: http://www.kiteforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2329745 |
Sammicheater,
I live an Clermont and am currently learning to kiteboard. Funny you should mention Lake Minneola 'cause I've tried to get the kite going on it. I guarantee we get some damn good winds in the winter, good enough to kite with. But for now I'm traveling out to the coast to get better. j. |
