EPIC Kitesurfing Smyrna beach dunes
A feel good 11M session at Smyrna Beach Dunes, FL.
Drive up on the uncrowded beach, park, rig, and ride. It doesn’t get any better then that.
11M kite with the TT board, on shore east north east winds 20-30 mph. So much fun carving up the 5-10 foot waves on the outside and nice easy pleasy 1-3 footers on the inside. Ocean spaced waves gives so much time in between the waves. (Unlike the Great Lakes).

Session 3 of the 2020 season: Epic 7M Flat water Indian River Lagoon at the Stuart Causeway

11:39 AM on Thursday, January 9, 2020 
Epic flat water session, a solid 2 hours worth on the 7M with the TT board.
Slicks galore with 4 inches of depth and the deep water had some nice wind swell.
Sketchy launch but well worth the risk.
About a dozen windsurfers and one wing with a foil board doing well.
Easy, pleasy with the 7M kite, almost effortless, probably could have stayed out another 2 hours.
Good lofting, fun slashing and carving...
Mostly sunny, 75 degrees, warm water and side on ESE winds to 30mph.

More 7M in the forecast for the next 2 days..

Started out with good wind but very choppy conditions. Worked my way up to the jetty where some slicks were and some wrap around clean waves to play in.
