best place for the forecast is prob North Skyway..

the skyway bridge is a huge bridge at the south end of St. Petersburg.

we ride on a very small beach at the north end .. its shallow and past the sandbar is tons of wide open sea chop..

its really a place for intermediate and up riders.. not for the newbies..

the beach is bookended by TONS of sharp rocks and trees/mangroves.

if you are a good upwind rider.. you will be fine.

to get there.. drive from the Sandpiper to 275 south.. should be a straight shot from where you are at.. ask for directions..take 275 south heading towards the skyway bridge..
pay the 1.00$ toll for the bridge but DO NOT cross the bridge.. 1 mile past the toll booth there will be an exit to the right for restrooms.. take that exit and at the stop sign turn left and go onto the service road.. the little beach will be just a few hundred yards down .. its a bumpy ride once you get off the road.. .

let me know if you need more info..

see you there!
