Default TOW IN SURFING IN FLORIDA???

You learn something new everyday. I had NO idea that guys were tow-in surfing in SE Florida. So if pictures don't lie, here's proof. It is portion of a high res live cam shot that shows about TEN guys under tow by wave runners in SE Florida, USA.


This is just a component of the overall image.


A thumbnail of the full image.

To see the full image, which is pretty nice and shows the surf piling up on the shore and all the tow-in guys. It is worth checking out, click:

EVS has a number of stations in Florida and elsewhere with high res. live cam images, weather data, etc. Good stuff!

According to the date stamp it just happened too on April 17, 2005. I just checked ikitesurf and the winds were 30 to 45 mph for about three days!

This is the windgraph for Friday, April 15, 2005 as this nuking cold front came on.

I was wondering where the hell I was when this incredible wind was on? In Colorado, how soon they forget. This was the time when Neil messed up his leg and another guy got wrapped and cut in lines to the north of this area. Well, at least you picked some incredible conditions.
