so far this season we've been having lots of easterly wind, and for flat water east beach in ft. desoto is definetly the spot as mentioned above. Check out the sticky thread on riding spots, and focus on spots that will work on easterly winds as they will likely be the most common during the time that you're here, mainly E, ENE, and NE and best during the morning and evening times. If a cold front comes through while you are here, you can grab some south wind at east beach ahead of the front, but for westerlys and north after the front passes, riding the gulf beaches in the surf will be your best bet, flat water spots for these directions are far fewer, and an hour drive from ft. desoto.
