Tis' the season for Delray Beach surf and kiting

While the high wind and low temperatures keep most beach goers away this time of year, there are a few locals and even commuters screamin' surfs' up in Delray Beach. This time of year "weather permitting" means an east swell with a glassy west wind for the less than perfect surf.

Surfers and kite boarders alike drive from as far south as Key West in these windy months as soon as the weather channel calls for a small storm in the Atlantic to send South Florida some sweet waves. Even as hundreds of spinner sharks migrate south, you will still see dozens of riders in wetsuits on boards awaiting perfect sets.

Though the kite boarders need the wind and the surfers dig the waves,  you can bet you'll run into at least one giant kite in the sky or a shaggy haired surfer watchin' the sets. Next time you think about hittin' the beach grab your board cause there's a good chance that surfs' up...dude.
