NE Florida seems to have more wind than anywhere else in the state, ergo less posting more riding.:-P

That is some strong wind. Looks pretty smooth on ikitesurf too. Then look at the radar loop and damn, that is a lot of squalls! Have fun in the steady stuff, avoid the squalls. Hope the wind stays after the storms clear.

I'm going out Friday to Huguenot early and plan to stay for a while weather pending.
I would love for someone to join me. I just got into the sport and took some lessons about a month ago. I've been wakeboarding for about 4 years and have a blast until I have to fill up the boat. Anyway I purchased my first kite last week and a harness yesterday. Looking foward to meeting new friends. Later guys. Kevin |

I live and kite in Jax but have never posted, ooops
I haven't been out since Nov. when it was still warm, but I kite at Hug and Jax beaches all the time, when I can.
Just became an IKO certified Instuctor so let me know if anyone's interested in learning or progressing. Let me know the next time someone goes out and I'll try to meet you. I think we should organize a course race for fun, and I have plans for a slider drawn up already, I just have to build it now. Donations are welcomed =) N8 904-662-2336 |

NE FL is the best spot to ride. New Smyrna Beach has the best down winders of FL. We run an 8 mile stretch from Hiles St. to Ponce Inlet. Being able to drive on the beach is the deal sealer! You can ride on the inside of the break and get flat water between the surf, within the break for surf style, or outside the break to avoid currents in lighter winds. Pretty much a mini skate park here, and also the best swell in the state according to surf line.
Also, at the end of your sessions, the local surfers will give you rides back up wind. |
