I'll be out at Skyway once tide starts heading in. Looks too NE for South Skyway?

I don't reallly do E Beach hardly ever, so it can't be half, maybe 5%.
I'm pretty sure that I have all the recon in the world for NNE winds but I would or alternatively not go to alot of them depending on Wind direction and tides.

For only NNE to NE winds these are all possibilities
East Bch. There's St Pete Pier (Vinoy Park ), Lassing park, Secret bch ( just North of Skyway North ) , Skyway North, Skyway South, Piney Point, Sand Point, Bahia Bch, Mangrove point, Apollo Bch, Pine Key ( trash can Island ), Picnic Island, The place by the airport, Courtney Campbell

Is that enough recon for the Bay area itself?

Today happenened to be perfect for Skyway South this morning, Did you get out?

Which size? Waroos get sketchy at the upper limit. Saw you are already selling the 20. Was the 16 better? PM me a review of the 20.

danny has the 14 and 9
i have the 9/12/16

i did ride danny's 20 for a couple tacks on our last windy weekend .. it was far too litt for me to give any sort of review..

i know both of you have flown your 21m kites many times.. i am just not used to large kites like that.. my 16 will go in 10 to 11 and i cant imagine needing a bigger kite..

the 20 was quick in the air and i had no problems with that..

i would think an 07 17m waroo would be the biggest thing anyone under 250lbs would need. especially if you have your anomoly board.. you are set.
