I always find it irritating that I get charged for one extra pound on my luggage when the guy behind me weights twice as much as I do... That's because he walks to the airplane himself. If you get a self-transporting board bag, I bet they won't charge you extra. I don't think there is any aditional...

Signed. Hope it helps. Not only for KLM but also so that other airlines don't get the same idea. Regarding baggage fees...

I have a 7mm wetsuit and use it for cold water scuba diving. From my personal experience, your mobility is greatly reduced. I wouldn't want to ride with that thing on me. Maybe there are kiteboarding specific wetsuits that would be more flexible. Have you considered a drysuit? Sounds much better to ...

Jrfiol, thanks for the tips. As I am still a beginner, I have a tendency to pull on the bar too much. It is definitely one thing that could have been causing the problem or at least making it worse.

Thanks

Thanks for the info guys! I know my limitations. If you say it's for advances riders, it's definitely not for me. Greg, Key West sounds and looks awesome but you're 4 hours away from Miami. Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it there. Maybe on my next trip if I plan accordingly. Are there any...

Where is Charleston?

I will check with MiamiKiteboarding for Crandon. The supervised session may be exactly what I need.

On Kitebeaches.com, I saw "Miami Flats". Any comments on that one?

Thanks
