New to FLA kiting. Rode most of the season at Delray Beach, but now ride on Palm Beach Island.
First learned on a two line in Kite Beach Maui, back in 2002. Then Bought first 4 liner from Flash Austin at Kite Beach DR in 2003. Mostly rode lakes in MI, Lake St. Clair, and Lake MI. I llove not having to rinse my gear off in the lakes! But I also love riding in the ocean. I am on a 12m Flexi Atom 9m Best Yarga 141 Hana Crew 128 Stretch and Nobile Skim for Light wind I came down here to finish my last year of school and it turns out I have to go back to michigan for the summer to take some more classes that arent offered here. I get to follow the wind!! Be back when the fall frontals start to kick!!

newbie on the loose in SE Florida
Great to be here.
My wife and I are newbies. Took our lessons in Key West and Miami. Still taking follow up in Miami before the wind dies next week. Delray is going to be fun, once my skill level gets better. I am looking for any launch places from Melbourne to Key West. I have no problem driving a few hours for some kite time. Can someone give me a run down on what to expect for wind from now till the season picks up agin in the fall? I do not want to loose the touch now that I found it. Thanks and look forward to seeing u out there. Base Camp: Delray Beach Travel range: all of Sth Florida Kites: Cabrina: Omega 9m/SwtchBld 3 14m

Welcome to South Florida Terry. Our normal expectations are described in some detail for this time of year at:
http://fksa.org/showthread.php?t=500 Problem is, we have WIND and a fair amount of it too both this week and last. I am trying to remember the last time we had fairly good wind at the start of June (excepting tropical systems, which this is not) going back decades. Real strange stuff but most welcome. So, I would read the link over listed above. Chances are conditions will revert to normal patterns at some point, maybe. Regarding kiting venues, there's a ton along the east coast. Pretty much the whole thing is rideable as long as you're OK with waves. You should look over a couple of posts that go into various areas in Florida in the top three stickies at: http://fksa.org/forumdisplay.php?f=42 Enjoy the wind while it lasts, I sure am!
