Naples Wind at Christmas
Hi All
My Dad moved to Naples, and I will be visiting at Christmas. I was wondering about the wind speeds at that time of year, also the launches and their cooresponding rules. Im coming down from Portland, Oregon any info would be appreciated. Thanks George |

Naples is a tough call, you need to follow the cold fronts but I've found it to be on the light side most of the time so bring big gear. I actually ship my 16m & Door down and let them live in Naples for the winter and I have yet to ride anything else but I seem to be 100% not in sink with cold fronts
I'm sure Latino will chime in here and check in with Jeff at the "Old Naples Surfshop" he's a kiter and also rents SUP's. |

John is right about watching the fronts but I would bring what ever I could to be prepared just in case. The first year I went to St. Pete it was a beautiful day and barely staying upwind on my 15m Fuel. As I was sitting on the beach waiting for the wind to get there, a few locals came down and started setting up 7 & 8 meter kites. I thought that was wierd until the front came in.

Thanks, Guys
The biggest if have is a 09 12m, It sounds like the cold fronts are the money. How often do they come around? I will contact the kiteshop an get some more info too. Warm Winds George |
