The Treasure Coast spans the east coast of Florida roughly from Jupiter to Vero Beach. It derives it's name from a Spanish treasure fleet that was lost during a hurricane in 1715. Their are a lot of great windsurfing spots on the Treasure Coast but this blog focuses mainly on the Indian River from Stuart to Jensen Beach.

Kite boarders everywhere!
Saturday I went up to the Ft Pierce inlet around 1:00. The wind was out of the N 17-21 mph and the temp was 55 degrees and sunny. There was 8 kite boarders out on the water, so I rigged a 6.0 and headed out. I planned up easily enough but there was some holes. I was having trouble pointing up wind so I was experimenting with boom height and mast position. It seemed like I was always trying to pinch upwind on the way out and then having a pretty decent ride in. I did get trashed in the shore break when I came in to far south of the jetty. I had a pretty good time but I thinking I need a bigger fin with the 6.0.
