After a short drive south down A1A, you arrive to Matanzas Inlet. The inlet is great place to get lit if it's blowing...When we got there the winds were blowing around 12 but peaked to 22 during our session. Right around thepeakof 20, I got whipped into the sanbar, drug across the sand and now have the scares to prove my first day of kiteboarding was a success. With wipe out aside, I got up on my first day, so excited, I lost my hat and sunglasses and didn't care. I am hooked. This sport is a blast. Just prepare yourself for some losses of blood.

After my first day of kiteboarding, there is nothing better than relaxing with a corona, some conch fritters and a Florida sunset. From the Mantanzas cafe deck, you can take in views of the intercoastal waterway, palmtree skylines and beautiful sunsets. With this being my 4th day in Florida, I look forward to the rest of the week.
