Agreed, waves really started to get some good quality south of Redington Pier. Did anyone experience side-off conditions as they headed south of the pier?

Bayflite mentioned that at the 'Tow.
I never noticed, but he did.
The other side of Blind Pass, close to shore got REAL crappy, but that almost always happens. The TI area was friggin' awesome.

speaking of the tow,
it's no longer cool to park there and ride.
maybe bongos would be cool.
now i see why its called under tow
you might get towed
but yeah steve, ditto that bro on the sketch factor at redington
i was almost wishing i didn't chop off my donkey dick with all the sketch
l8r

Is there a "better" place to go than the 'tow?
That guy is too negative to be getting our money, imo.
He should be happy when 15 guys (and gals) show up on a SHIT day (biziness wize) to pay him and his staff.
Some days that aren't football, we are the only ones there when it is blowing 30 and its 55 degrees outside.
You think he would say "Hey and welcome". But instead he walks around like Mr. Grumpy asking for I.D., etc.

What's his deal? I have been going there for years with no problems.
Then about 6 months ago...

Anyway, a more kite friendly place would be great.
Is Bongo's more kiter friendly?

Was the wind really gusty in st pete? It was so gusty in Sarasota that it wasnt even fun. it would go from like 22 to 35 and back down again in 10 seconds. yesterday was great out of the south-nice and steady 12 m weather.

i might be thinking of caddy's
the place where gulf blvd and sunset beach intersect by the seven 11.

[Erick]

Yeah, I usually go to Bongos because I’ve noticed that it’s convenient to park my car there and access to the beach is right there.

Around three months ago I went on a breeze Friday afternoon to The Undertow and had a couple of drinks while I was waiting for the strong wind to show up. When the wind came I kited for around 2 hours and when came back to my car there a note in the windshield of my car saying that The Undertow was not a place to kite. WTF?? I just had a couple of drinks there!!

Anyway I don’t frequent that place that often anymore.

[CrazyJay]

Caddys is the shizit and they are kiter friendly. We caught some slack from the guy at the Under Ho today. Screw em'... its their loss. That place can sit empty on the cold windy days!

I agree Jayson and Erick. Thanks for the inputs.
I only named it as a meeting spot today because, to be honest, I don't know all the other options.
Some one else pick Bongos or Caddy's next time.
