Visiting Southeast FL Jan 11-14, Need Advice

[turtle]

Hello to all the Southeast Florida Kiteboarders from here in Sharkless Michigan. A couple of us are flying into Tampa early Thursday morning to hopefully get in a couple great windy and warm sessions while we are in Florida. It looks like the wind might be better further South, so a road trip from Tampa may have to be the call.

How does the wind look for Thurs, Fri & Sat below Tampa?

How far do we need to drive to get a good forecast?

Any advice on a campground or beach hotel south of Tampa with a good wind forecast?

What spots should we hit on which directions?

Where is a good spot for wave riding?

Where is a good spot for flat water?

Any local dangers (Sharks) or regulations we need to be aware of?

Both of us are PASA Level 3 riders, so no worries.

Side Note: I am looking to off 2 of my 2006 North Rhinos while I am in town if anyone is interested. 10M Black & Blue $450; 14M Green & Yellow $500 in perfect condition, both with one bar for $1,000 or best offer. These were bought new at the beginning of this season, no patches, rips or repairs. I have to make way for my new quiver of 2007 Naish Torch IIIs. Send me a message if you are interested.

Hope to see all of you on the water.
