Are you talking the North Shore Pool area in St. Petersburg? If so I can tell you about it.

Wondered if that might have been it. Still, no end of "North Shore" areas in Florida. If it is the one near the marina, that is where the first kitesurfing event in Florida was held, seven years ago!

sorry...yep...north shore pool area in downtown St. Petersburg, florida.... very large shallow area, small but seems like a "launcheable" beach site.....seems like an ideal NE - SE area to kite, yet not many kiters around. ...just wondering if there is something in this area that is keeping kiters away.

I've only ridden there twice, in zippo wind and a coons age ago. I've moved your post over to where you'll get some expert local input. It is a scenic area. Few problems seven years ago, today I don't know.
