Jupiter Inlet @ Jupiter Bch County Park:

Take 95 to Jupiter, then 706 east. Take A1A north and next right onto Jupiter Beach Road. At the end turn right onto Ocean Trail Way until it ends in a parking lot.

Then You'll have to go to Carlin park which is just a mile south of there....

Not as nice but still good, it is open ocean and waves can get big on a good day. Launch is narrower beach strip plus you'll have beach break

If the wind is on, you should see other kiters about a mile or two south of Carlin Park and a couple miles north of the Juno Fishing Pier. There should be waves if there is wind, have fun.

Waterspouts! The key for truly big air and rapid trips to the ER. That time of year is here when waterspouts become fairly common. Latino it stayed well offshore during your session? I have only seen two go ashore myself. Some turn into tornados and really tear things up.

had a great 3 hour session in jupiter on Sunday. well litt on my 16 waroo..

i realized after i had rigged and launched i was more north of stair 10.

just around the bend from the park i saw a number of kites so i rigged there..

after riding for a bit i saw a ton of kites south of the area i was at (Xanadu)...

as there were lots of other riders where i was at, i didnt think i needed to relocate.

I rode back and forth from Xanadu to stair 10 a number of times. Seems like the shore break was much worse at stair 10.

i will say that Jupiter riders have pretty intense conditions compared to the flat/light chop we ride in daily. I have no idea how anyone but a solid intermediate kiter could stand a chance. Where the hell do your beginners start??

took me 4 tried to even get off the beach. never had that happen before. holy crap it was insane. truly felt more like "survival kiting" than anything.

Once i got that hang of it, i had a f**king blast. winds picking up in that later of the day, boosting huge.. fun fun fun..
