Rule #1 : never leave home without your kite gear...especially if you'll be in FL for a week!!!

The closets I've ridden to Pine Island is Sanibel, which can be great.

I've been out to Pine Island a few times (Matalacha, Bookelia) and it looks like lots of possibilities there.

If you can get a boat over to Captiva or Punta Blanca Island you can probably hit some incredible shallow water, flat water riding in every wind direction.

You may not encounter a lot of other kiters out there, it's pretty remote from the popular spots, but it could be epic. depending on where you are on Pine Island, Sanibel could be a good hike.

enjoy your trip...Pine Island is a cool place!

PS...is that "Southie" as in S. Boston?
