Because I know that statement isn't figurative, but literal.... I would switch with you in a heartbeat, Ross.
New to the sport, it's exciting, you are young....you have it made!

See you tomorrow.

Actually, a gal.
But you're right about the 12 bow.

Oh baby I'm excited, hopefully I'll get to pop the cherry on my new 10m vegas tomorrow. Woop Woop!

I'm in Orlando, and I don't mind making the drive to treasure island. I'm pretty sure thats what I'm going to do. However I'm curious, are chances it may be just as good out at the 520 slick? I'd actually rather get a flat water sesh as apposed to riding waves.

Also if anyone wants to ride share from the Orlando area hit this Seattle boy up. Cheers and see you all at the beach tomorrow.

Does anyone know if the Treasure Island Public Parking Beach is south or north of Treasure Island Causeway?
(I assume it is on Gulf Blvd.)

The lots I see north of TI Causeway include Municipal Beach lot (112th Ave.) and Sunset Vista lot (120th Ave.).

Lots south of TI Causeway include Pinellas Cty lot (104th Ave.) and Sandpiper lot (100th Ave.).

Thx.

Does anyone think it will slow down any tomorrow? My 12M is down and all I have to ride is a 16M Thruster. So looks like tomorrow is out for me unless the wind dies down a bit...

Sounds like there will be at least two 12's out there that you and RossBond(Swtchblde) can share.

It's nuking dudes. At least 30. Not sure about the 12m kites at this point.

I just talked with Danny. He is at NB. He decided not to ride (alone) for safety reasons.... good call.

He said the trees were screaming for mercy and the sand was getting blown like (....) He also said he wasn't sure about TI with N winds.
Right now it is NNW. Google maps looks okay for that.

BigAirAl just called. He just got off a ship and had a bird's eye view.
He is saying NNE at the SW and NNW or N for the beaches.

Does anyone know for certain if TI isn't so hot on due N?

I thought it was. We will ride today, I just am trying to figure out the best spot and am factoring in new rider's abilities and safety concerns.

Inputs appreciated. Let's try to keep it close to TI (within 20 minute drive) so that Philthy and some others from Sorrysota don't drive for 2 hours.

Thanks. Have at it, going to Skyway Jack's to eat with Al.
