Wind!
Good news, there's wind in the forecast for a second weekend in a row. Checkered news is that it is dead onshore which might bring some problems.
JUPITER INLET TO DEERFIELD BEACH, SATURDAY EAST WINDS AROUND 20 KNOTS. SEAS 6 TO 8 FEET. INTRACOASTAL WATERS CHOPPY IN EXPOSED AREAS. NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. SATURDAY NIGHT EAST WINDS AROUND 20 KNOTS. SEAS 6 TO 7 FEET. INTRACOASTAL WATERS CHOPPY IN EXPOSED AREAS. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT EAST WINDS AROUND 20 KNOTS. SEAS AROUND 6 FEET. INTRACOASTAL WATERS CHOPPY IN EXPOSED AREAS. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. http://www.srh.noaa.gov/mfl/marine.php If you are new, still working on water starting or going upwind, head south and grab a boat out to the Flats of Miami, hit the Keys, or sit this one out. You don't want to try to work on this stuff in 20 kt. onshore winds in 6 ft.+ waves. Have fun, avoid the squalls and remember onshore winds have a much higher injury rate than any other direction. It is a lot easier to have your board driven into you by a wave, get smashed over and mess up something in your leg while working to edge out through large breaking waves. Guys that ride in sheltered water, forget about the waves!

I sat out last weekend; 9ft seas, surf overhead =-( .... Headed to tampa to enjoy some sheltered water this week =-). I need a bit more practice before I try waves again... Spent 2 hours walking up and down the beach searching more brand new board last time i tried. Have fun all.

the problem with these winds is the fact that it can get extremely gusty and "interrupted" showers occur.
Hows it going Bizguru? everything good?

All is great, gonna get some instruction in tampa this weekend to get my self IKO 3 =-), hopefully. Have not been on the water in a while so I figures a quick refresh, review of my mechanics, as well some pointers from an instructer is just what i need. Plus I am ****ing tired of the walk of shame, Hopefully this will be the last this weekend. 2 Days in tampas clam waters will be nice.

UPDATE-
I spent the weekend getting some instruction from Triton Kiteboard. It was great to get back on the water and the instruction helped a ton. Thinking about hitting the keys this weekend for some more flat water action to improve my skills furture.

Quality instruction can be a very good thing. Glad you're getting some time on the water. We may be in a slight lull hopefully to be followed with more wind in a few days.
