Did I meet you that one day out there at Sunset Beach (just North of Dunedin) that day there was us 2, John on a big Waroo and 3 windsurfers? It was 3 weeks ago on a SSW wind of maybe 12 to 15 knots.
I think it was actually Sean I met (not TBN, but another Sean), but maybe it was you Todd (?) I may have mixed up the names.

Welcome to the area Todd. (I think you are in Tampabay area, close enough) :mrgreen:
The Tampa/St. Pete/CLW/Dunedin areas are some of the best places in the U.S. to kite all in all, (imho) for 8 months of the year when you combine our ability to ride so many wind directions and not freeze, and probably the worst (for wind) the other 4 months. I think you are really going to like riding here. I use to windsurf as well. That sport is okay, if you live somewhere with A LOT more wind on a regular basis. You will be surprised how 12 knots on the kite feels about like 18 relative to the windsurfer "powered up and planing" type of feel (you probably already know that).
We will be getting plenty of riding days this year.
Good move switching wind sports
