Sweet! I love windsurfing....haven't been in years. I wanna learn me some kitesurfing...
Kitesurfing looks like something I would want to try too. If nothing else, you're less of a target for the sharks and gators here. ;-}
Isn't it a little cold there to be surfing this month? Oh yeah, you get to ski. Bum.
