Default Keys?

Hi,
It seems there will be a fair amount of wind in the next days at Islamorada.
Do you think it worth going down there in summer?
Tomorow? http://windguru.cz/fr/index.php?sc=297

Thanks.
Tony

The keys are great, if you come down here to hang out and just enjoy. Dont plan on comming here (in summer) and do nothing but kite, you'll go mad trying to ride in really light wind.

but I'm heading out right now to play with my new 15 omega.

I was in Key West when your email came out Tony. For some reason my new phone wouldn't let me post, have to fix that. As Kabo says, the Keys are always great to go hangout and do other stuff. The wind comes there more than the rest of the state it seems but their aummer can be just as light as everyone else. Anyway, the prospects for today, yesterday were not great. Today in KW anyway, there wasn't sufficient wind to go at it from what I could see. The next few days, things may change by the forecast. We'll see.

I went down a few weeks ago. They keys are always fun. I especially enjoy Bahia Honda SP. Although my kite didn't get any action it was nice to sit back and relax in the calm waters.... then hit duval street at night.

What about the Keys in mid October? Maybe Miami? I am from Argentina and will be hanging around with my wife+kid. Any spot suggestions in the area for begginers?
Have a nice day.
Sebas.

its pretty nice I had it out tuesday right before sunset. wind was pretty dirty, but it kept me riding. I'm still getting used to it, the no bar pressure is allitle tricky and it doesn't like to be sheeted in, like the contra. for a big kite it jumps really well, turns alot faster than my 16 sb1 did and relaunches like a dream.
there should be some wind comming this weekend I'm sure i well be flying it again.

the kite looks pretty tough to
