Kite size to ride this summer

[kitegrandad]

That's the one. Today is a perfect South Lido day 15 and strong out going tide. Seabreezes are mid to late afternoon through early evening sessions. Check the weather for Sarasota on ikitesurf.com and rides on mote.org around Noon. if they look good drive down arriving around 4pm.

and don't forget to keep an eye out for rapidly forming Thunderbloomers....
they sneak up on you quickly that time of day and year here......

Regarding rides I found this link on mote.org : http://isurus.mote.org:8080/locations/5081.html

What do I need to check regarding rides, how can I see that they look good? Sometimes rides can be dangerous?

Ok, so it means that I have to be careful when the sky is going dark because of the clouds? Yesterday evening around 7pm, there had a dark sky with a little rain, I need to take care at this moment?

Just as sure as there are little green tomatoes on this earth,

every afternoon in July and August from about 6-8pm we'll get buckets pouring down on us with the occasional Zap-Boom!

Sorry, but what do you mean by 'little green tomatoes on this earth' ?

I went to South Lido Beach yesterday evening, indeed a nice little seabreez was there. Where is TI ?

T.I. is Tybee Island- (in Georgia).
Please avoid riding in the swim zones there too.

I heard of a possible lightning strike on a kiter while getting my haircut today. CG was out looking for them with helis and boats Sat. evening around SPB.
Anyone heard anything?
