If you go, experienced guys only with these sort of conditions choose your kite well. Again, conditions should be GUSTY coming off the land so close by. Higher winds and bigger gust ranges have been at the root of a number of our problems over the years. Winds are predicted to 30 kts. further north on the east coast. All of this is offshore in SE Florida. Have a care out there guys.
