Saint Simons Island Kiting?
Hello,
I will be flying with my family from SF Ca, to the SouthEast for a weeding in Mid May of this year. We will be staying in St. Simons Ga and I was wondering if it would be worth bringing along my kitesurfing gear. Any advice appreciated. thanks |

http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/tikakiteboarding/ You can find some historical wind records for May, offshore at Grays Reef on ikitesurf. I would take a few mph off the record to better represent nearshore conditions at: http://www.ikitesurf.com/windandwher...phicalAreaID=0

I know this is an old thread but...
I'll be going there in Sept. Looks like the windiest month there. Did you get to check out the kiting on St. Simons?

I went there for a windsurfing event in 1995... i think. It was a great spot with wonderful people. The wind was excellent and it holds a great seabreeze similar to Savanah, Ga. I'm sure that most summer days have enough wind to kite. Septemeber is a month of change, but still should get hot enough to pull the wind through.
I remember that we actually raced around the island and had to duck under a bridge in the event. tons of fun.

Hey,
Saint Simons is a great place: http://www.kitebeaches.com/kitesurf/...kitelake_.html Also Jekyll Island is not very far away; however, if you are on Saint Simons or Sea Island kite there it is an awesome spot for a mud flat. Clew In |
