Hi Guys,
I will be in Orlando Fl first week of July and was wondering if there are nice spots to kite on the east or west coast at this time of the year. Any place you recomend? If it is a wave place the better. Otherwise any place at all!!!
Thanks

Best bet is to try the east coast so you can get the thermals. Honestly in July, I probably wouldn't bother bringing kites, you might get a day or two of 8-12 knots. There really isn't any wind in Florida during the summer.

Bring a 17 or 18 and go to Cocoa beach - I believe they kite around 5th street if I remember. Bring lots of quarters for the parking meter!
They get lots of sea breeze thermals - even into July.
Good luck!
