Default visiting SE FL and want to ride

Hey all, I'm a kiter from MI heading down to the Boca area to visit the grandparents before a cruise. If there is wind I'd love to met up with some local riders and session FL again. I'll be down in FL on wed (12/20). Hopefully well have some wind, please let me know if anyone is heading out...

Your closest and best bet would be Delray Beach, just to the north. The forecast for Wednesday has wind in it, see below. However this is dead onshore and the waves should be up as well. So, it is suitable for advanced intermediate or stronger accepting the higher odds of problems in such conditions of course. More about Delray at:

WEDNESDAY
EAST WINDS 15 TO 20 KNOTS WITH HIGHER GUSTS. NEAR
