I am going to marco next week for a seminar. The most most important question is.....where do I go to sail? Does any one have any info? thanks, Tom

If you are refering to SW florida, then you want to go to tigertail beach park.(hope this is right). It is very windy there and a great place if it is too extreme elsewhere further north. It has some shallow spots so you typically sail across to a dry sandbar and walk across to the other side and then sail. there could be other access points obvious when you get to the island but tigertail has always been the spot where the sailors congregate when its going off. I dont know about rental gear there but would be better to bring your own. good luck, John from Jupiter.

There is a windsurfing rental on the beach at the tigertail beach park. Its kinda expensive, $25.00 for 1/2 hour. The sails are not that great.
