Hi--

I will be visiting family friends in Tierra Verde (near St. Petersburg) in November. It looks like there are a number of kite spots in the area that allow for riding in a variety of wind directions.

I'm wondering if I can get some info on what to expect that time of year so I can plan and pack accordingly--

Is there fairly reliable wind or do I have to get lucky to catch fronts/depressions moving through?

What are typical wind speeds, quivers, wetsuits for that time of year?

Is it possible to rent boards at any shops in the area?

Do most people ride twin tips or surfboards down there?

I'm an intermediate 210 lb kiter, have an 8m/12m/16m SLE quiver, and am used to riding the Gorge and the OR coast.

Appreciate any info!
