Default Fall Wind and Tropical juice

The Surf Expo was interesting this year.....lots of new gear and a lot of copy cats there. The new Naish line was one of the best set up booths at the show, with all new gear for 08. Mystic gear looking great for 08 as well.
Enough about the show....we bolted for Huguenot Park to catch the 25-30 mph wind and waves....rode hard for a few days and then back to Panama City Beach to catch it on this side when it reformed into a tropical wave and 20 plus winds. We rode hard at Shell Island in the lagoon all day on 10 meter kites....it was so flat it reminded me of an iceskating rink.
Today at the State Park on the backside of the storm, we caught ESE winds 25 or so and some wave action.
The new Liquid Force HAVOC is looking and feeling to be a great kite for 08.
Stay tuned for more wind......Fall rocks the Emerald Coast.
Emerald Coast Kiteboarding has a new rental house right on the gulf with pool, pool table, wireless and the works...it's so cool, even Shannon Best has stayed there!

Lucky, lucky guys! Enjoy those fronts, the wind and waves. I hope the stronger cold fronts make their way south sooner than later. Thanks for the report and grab some wind and water time for us still stuck in summer patterns down south, for now. Do you have any pictures of the action or video?
