Summer in SW Florida is generally a really bad season for windsurfing. It's rarely windy enough to plane, even with the biggest boards and sails. But yesterday was an exception, with a big low pressure system roughing up the Gulf of Mexico and bringing a stiff onshore breeze to Wiggins Pass State Park. I got out on a 106 liter Exocet Cross II board and a 6.4 KA Kult sail and took some video with my GoPro. The song in the video is by the Misfits.

Rare windy day in the middle of Florida's stagnant summer season. I'm riding a 106 liter Exocet Cross II and a 6.4 KA Kult sail. Music is the Misfits.

Good music for a stormy looking day.
Do you live close enough to the beach to catch that rare day? I have 30 miles to the beach so I take everything along that will fit on my trailer. And still sometimes miss.
Frank- I'm lucky that it just a 15 minute drive to the beach from my house. I keep most of my windsurfing gear in the back of the van all the time, which makes the van smell funny but makes it easy to grab a session on short notice. :)
Lucky guy! Thanks for sharing, James. Love the little hops and off-the-lips. I can only dream. Even more severe dog days here in Ohio.
