Florida!

I could be anywhere in the country right now but Florida is the place to be. I witnessed the most amazing lightning storm last night off the coast of St. Augustine. The enormous cloud was illuminated from the inside by flashing lightning. That specticle was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. I will post some video of it today.

In other areas of the county, Phoenix is in a heat wave, the Northeast is in the midst of below normal temps and a battering Nor'Easter and the West just begins to thaw out from the winter. Meanwhile in Florida, we enjoy 80's and NE winds at 10-20, which is great for kiting. The residue of the sea water dries on my skin as I write this...

Here is a little video to connect you to the rest of the world...

Hurricane Season 2005 pacific _ adrian

tropical storm Adrian, now hurricane Adrian.
On Wednesday a new developement of a tropical storm on route to Central America woke everyone up in the hurricane prediction office. And as we narrowed our focus in Florida to the same area, we watched the next couple of days generate a t.s into a hurricane and now into a much weaker storm. For all the current info, log on below.

With the sea breeze off to the East and Clouds to the West, conditions are perfect at the Inlet.

With the winds at 15 and coming up quick the kites were in full force. I had a fully lit 4th day of riding. I rigged up a flexifoil 11m and got my upwinders down. Too much fun!

Thursday, May 12th 2005 Northern Florida

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.

Daryl Drown-ExtremeKites owner and local ripper. Daryl showed up after we had been riding for a couple hours. The wind had died down a little but still was blow'n around 14, which is great for a skim board and 18m kite.

Daryl and Eddie taking care of business after our session.

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.
