A friend is going to be in St. Petersburg, Florida for a few days next month and is interesting in taking kiteboarding lessons. Can anyone recommend
a kiteboarding instructor in that area?
Thanks.

Try Jeff at Kitemare.com in St. Petersburg, FL. I bought a trainer from him last year and he was super nice and super accomodating. The only downside,
assuming he is still there and in business, is the winds in that area tend to be fickle.
Good luck and have fun!

Schweet!
Although its not our windy season right now, you'll be able to rip it up on Treasure Island with the buggy on the seabreezes. Most other beaches won't
let you buggy or landboard there, but T.I. is huge and has a good crowd of power kiters.
If you're doing nothing this Wed. the 5th, we have an event for some foster care kids at Ft. Desoto (11:00AM), so come on out and meet some of the
locals if ya want.
Your local association is www.TBKA.org
see ya soon!
