Hey Panhandle Riders!!
 

It was nice to meet you all (Larry, Wayne, Jhonny, Eric) sorry if i forgot to mention somebody else. Linda and Roy, I had fun last week there, thanks for having me at your place. The only thing I really missed was the good wind so you people own me some for next time, I also liked your beaches too. I hope to see you guys soon! Feel free to come and visit us down here in the Tampa/St. Pete area.

Good winds,

Mexico Erick

What's up Mexico??!! Sorry the wind sucked, at least we got to ride all day Friday. Forecasts can never be trusted it seems. Looks like potential Gulf riding this weekend, but then again, that is based on a forecast, and we all know what that means, or does not mean. Anyway, it was great having you up here over the Turkey Day holiday. See you soon!! Linda

yeah, the wind sucked last weekend. we were all frothing at the mouth, especially with the forecast looking pretty good. it stayed E all day sunday, which is offshore in the gulf for us. we thought it was going to swing around to the SE for a great wave sesh, but that didn't happen until after dark...of course!!! after the rain passed, blew a hard W through sunset, too bad I couldn't get out there in time!! Figures, can never trust these forecasts anyway.

Wait I thought I saw two lone kiters at the Jettys ripping it up in the surf with those offshore winds...I had to go home and watch football !!!!

I thought you could ride @ st georges island when it is east...

oh yeah, sorry sandibottom, i didn't want to mention the two crazy kiters riding in the offshore winds with no jet ski support. of course, you guys have such skill that you would never put that kite in the water!!! LOL glad you guys got to ride, but i had fun watching football!!!

BigR: yes, st. george island is great on E, ENE, NE, SE, S, and Saturday was the day to have been there, but we had a wedding to go to. St. George is nice, but can be choppy, similar to North Beach. In the right conditions, the waves can be really nice. On a SE, the State Park in P.C. is really awesome!!

it's 530am, about to hit st. george!!! Woohoo!!!

I will be up that way in a few weeks, I am hoping to check out some of those spots that you all ride. I am also looking for info for other panhandle spots if you guys have any to share.

I posted in the kiter buzz forum. Check out www.pcbkitesurf.com and go to the local info section. tap in the launches and you will see the google earth maps. it has the panama city kite spots flagged, but you can follow it along to the west. follow highway 98 and to the south of it for all the waterfront that can be kited. we'll be happy to get hooked up with you, when are you coming up?
