tampa/st pete florida is the schizzle

just got back from the right coast (well, actually the left coast of the right coast), rode 5/10 in the fort desoto/st pete area, wanted to share with my homies (and maybe gloat just a little bit)

the beaches are the best, as picuresque as anything i have seen, and wide open: 30 miles of downwind potential from caldesi to fort desoto, kickers and swells in the gulf to flat water at desoto, 80/60 this time of year, some cool places to stay on the gulf and not too expensive.

i have always thought of the winds in florida as a bit unpredictable, and its true: 50-60% is about what they average during their windy season (oct-april) but man, when its on its some of the best riding and conditions i have seen.

pm me for any specific 411

i wonder if you could do even better %-wise if you were based in the middle and had the knowledge to drive right or left depending on forecast. (i.e. were staying in the key-largo area, which is probably not cheap but neither is the plane tix...)

Thats funny cause if staying in key largo you don't drive anywhere, you either cross the road and are on the other "coast" or take a boat

Its still windy here, Tampa this morning 25kt NW
