Heading out for a Session?
I will be visiting Jacksonville May 14-18 and would like to get a few sessions in. Is there a form page that locals check out or post before heading out to check in on conditions, and kite with a few others around? I'd just rather kite when there is someone there who can help launch and land, tell tips. - Am I looking in the rights spot?

Hello Drew,
I don't know of a website that provides info on when guys will be riding in given areas around Jacksonville. There is a good chance that you will find some kiters around Huguenot Memorial Park just north of the inlet if there is wind on. Currently, you can ride in winds from most directions at the Park between the lagoon and ocean. Satellite photo/map of Huguenot: http://tinyurl.com/5bumyb If you are up for a drive down the coast a bit to the south you may find a number of guys just north of Matanzas Inlet south of St. Augustine if the wind is on. For marine & hazard weather forecast info I would checkout: http://forecast.weather.gov/shmrn.php?mz=amz452 http://www.srh.noaa.gov/jax/severe.shtml For color radar and satellite to see if there are squalls inbound that show up, checkout: http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?p...d=JAX&loop=yes http://tinyurl.com/3w4puz For realtime winds and for looking upweather for incoming trends: http://www.ikitesurf.com/windandwhere.iws?regionID=171
