anywhere with flat water from a reef maybe??

[snowball]

I've never ridden florida.

Ill be in sarasota for half of my trip and will spend the other half of the trip in boyton beach. is there anywhere thats near either of these areas where i could i ride some flat water? i know miami is awesome for flat water but its kinda far to drive. is there anywhere where ther's like a reef a mile out with huge waves and then flat water on the inside between the beach and the reef if so where is it? anywhere that you guys would recomend that i should definately go to when im there? oh and im an intermediate rider. also anywhere that youd recomend doing a downwinder in the shorebreak, I can have someone pick me up downwind.

thanks

P.S i'll get there tuesday night
