Thought I would try my luck at Metro Beach this afternoon. Once the rain stopped and the radar showed fewer storms in the area I headed out. Reports from the beach indicated up/down conditions.
Forecast still had some storms with possible lightning in the area.
Rigged up during a dry period, launched and I headed out at 3:30. Kited conservatively for about 45 minutes and then thicker clouds with mist and then rain came in killing the winds.
Not bad, got an hour on the water for the first time since the Keys in late January. I was glad it was only an hour with the coldness. I'm feeling it today with stiffness. A little different then snow kiting for sure.
3 other guys out on 12-15 M kites.
