The Straits of Florida await, again!
Imagine flying hell bent for leather over a 50 mile+ hazardous run from one country to the next across the fast moving deeps of the Straits of Florida. The start could be fairy easy or a bear with adverse light offshore breeze followed by honking strong wind as you head further across. Seas might be a limp wristed 7 ft. or rage up to 15 ft. perhaps more at points. Conditions could change a few times during the race. You may find yourself in furious chases among smaller packs of riders with the rest of the armada out of sight. Or, despite starting in a a field of 25 teams you may end up feeling like the last pair of kiters on earth on the wide, blue ocean. You may fly to the finish in startling time or some intriguing challenges may crop up along the way. Sound interesting?
