Trip to Key West and Tampa

Wolfpaklv - 17-7-2011 at 01:58 PM

Howdy,

Fying in to Key West on August 16th and would like to find someone that can point me towards the best places to Kitesurf. Will only be there till the 19th then I am driving to Tampa. So I am trying to maximize my time and hit the best spot on the island. Hope this finds its way to someone that lives or has lived down there.

As much as I hate to do this, you will probably have more luck checking with kiteforum.com which has a much larger kitesurfing population.

I hope you have a wonderful trip with good winds and fun rides. Take it easy!

Action Jackson used to live there in Tampa/St. Pete and was dialed in to the local scene. He can point you in the right direction.

Thanks, don't need lessons just pointed in the right direction.

Beamer - are you talking about Charles Jakson?

Ragden - I will check that out also, thanks.

Keywest only has one place to kite other than taking a boat to the flats, that is Smathers beach.The keys has few launches but here they are Anne beach and whales harbor. Tampa has it all but during August you are going to have to chase the sea breeze or hope for something tropical. Here's some of the locations: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=215519266599215911443.00... ..............aj
