March is WINDY!!!

Well, I didn't make the cut for The Best Job In The World. I guess I will just have to go and find/make my own best job! I have some ideas for that. Only about 6 weeks left until I'm done with school! At the moment I have a severe addiction to wind and a bad case of Senioritis! I guess wind is not a bad thing to be addicted to. This past weekend was unreal! Friday was one of the windiest days I have kited in and Saturday was definitely the windiest day I have ever been out in. We had a south wind gusting 40+ for the whole day. The day was perfection, sunny, windy, and warm. It doesn't get much better than that! Below is a short video from the day and from the keys. The jumps in the video are high, but I definitely had bigger ones that day. Saturday was exactly what keeps me coming back for more. I'm addicted!!!!

Spring Break in the Keys

Its been four years and it still never gets old! I could definitely do this for the next 4, easy. Since my freshman year I have been coming down to Big Pine Key in the Florida Keys. Each time I have stayed with my friend Lance and a handful of others on a mission to get away from the world. The break is usually about relaxing, chasing the wind and chasing the girls. They don't call the Keys the "Conch Republic" for no reason. Life in the Keys feels like being in a far away country, not a few hours from Miami. Cj and I arrived yesterday and plan on staying through next wednesday or so. Like a lot of the things I do, it depends on the wind. If its good, I'll make sure I'm there! The house is not as packed as it has been in the past. I believe it has been in the thirties at one point! With Lance, PJ, Unk, Bo, Cj and I we are rolling with plenty of room. Fresh fish for dinner and a cold beer usually ends the days around here. As night comes we head to Duval Street for the famous Duval Crawl. I'll put up some pictures in the next few days. So even though this is my last "official" college spring break, I hope I'm still taking a week off every year in March to get away for a little bit. Cj want to play beer pong before Duval so I'm done! Don't usually do shout outs through the blog, but I got to send a big one out to Lance for letting us crash and Bo "My Man!", and of course Q-Dawg!!!!!
