I agree that the Miami Flats would be and are a FAR better place to ride (hands down) But on the other hand, for myself at-least. Lake Mangonia is only 20 minutes from my door to the Lake (quick ride and minimal fuel usage) as apposed to Miami (1-1/2hr ride, Down and almost 3/4 of a tank of fuel in my Truck, round trip) Not to mention the Water taxi fee (unless I brought my own boat) and then with trailering make that a FULL tank of fuel plus fuel/oil for the boat.

So Miami requires a full day, While Lake Mangonia allowed me to kite for a couple of hours and still have the rest of the day to accomplish my priors.

Rick~ Did you catch any of those Thermals last night?
I brought my gear to work today in anticipation of a repeat
