Local interest in Lassing Park Kitesurfers

[drew]

Sorry to intrude, but I was hoping you all might share some thoughts on what makes Lassing Park a good place to kite surf. I'm writing an article on kite surfing for the Old Southeast Neighborhood (in which Lassing Park resides) newsletter and wanted some input on what makes LP a kite surfing destination (I presume its one of the few areas of easy access to westerlies in Pinellas). Also if anyone feels like describing how long they've been surfing, the cost of setting up, and any info on local instructors, I'd appreciate it and will credit you if I reference anything. Basically, a lot of neighbors have expressed interest and I thought I'd come to the source for information.
Thanks
Drew
