I know the winds can really blow in march. What size will most you likely be riding? Thanks for all the help!

Jaco,

Cabo can probably help you better if you want to stay in Marathon. If your in Islamorada, the best place is Coconut Cove Resort. It's probably the most popular kiteboarders place to stay and for 4 people will be @ $40-$50 per person. Make sure you tell them you are kiteboarders and get a discount. Marathon has some decent riding spots including Coco Plum, Curry Hammocks, Sombrero Beach and Bahia Honda. Bahia Honda is still a great place to ride. Please keep to the northern end of the beach and stay out of the swimming areas. Kite sizes in March can range from 16m to 7m.
