Cool vid that did a great job of showing the glides. What were the seas on that run?

Thanks. The seas were around 4ft, my guesstimate.

I downwind with a wonderful group of people from cocoplum navy in Miami. So we share rides. Uber will probably nor work since you would need to leave the board behind.

GS. Great to see another route, and another vid being posted. Great glides and footwork... Do you have a particular time of year that this run works, or do you just have to wait for the wind at any time of year?

Rock solid 4th post. I really enjoyed. I hope to be basing out of Miami in 2017 so your run is of particular interest.

Off-Shore - normally we have winds from November through April. Florida is so unpredictable though, one day we have N winds next day SE and so on. We wait for good wind and direction and pray to wind gods:) I haven't had a good DW in a month or so now  >:( Winds have not been favorable this year.

We're really fortunate here as the winds are quite predictable season-wise. We've been amazingly lucky this year that we've had 1 or even 2 weekend days to downwind every single weekend since Christmas, with lulls during the week.. quite extraordinary.. Normally at this time of year the main way we get downwinds in is mid week before work.. It seems it takes roughly a week for a new weather system to form and dissipate.. and somehow we have managed to be set in a rhythm where the high wind days fall on the weekends.. Long may it last..

What you all don't know is that Greg (gzasinets) is a DW lunatic. We're on the east coast of Florida, he lives on the west coast. He crosses the state every chance he gets to join in our DW's, even when the meet up is at 7am!!! (Btw, that's me (in black) and our local SG (SUP God) in the background at the very end of that video.)

Thanks for the proper intro Jorge ;D
It is not the Dw it is the people that I paddle along. Dw fun is just added bonus.

I've watched that Vid several times.. new to SUP but am a fisherman, so I'm the person cursing those winds as we fish the West side of the Bay anywhere from Matheson to Homestead and any wind with an E in it shuts us down.

May have to look into the DW side of things.

Its not often you get an epic day like that on the Bay.. so where else do the DW's hang out for excitement ?
