FLorida beaches?
iv been skimming in Clearwater or down in lido key for past 2 months, im lookn for something well.... with much biger waves. iv been to sabation/coco quite a few times but thats around 3 hours away im in the brandon/tampa area anyone got any sweet florida spots?
Thanks!
I live in Tampa and it takes me about an hour to drive down to Venice where I skim. If your not willing to make the drive there check out other beaches around you. Check out Indian rocks, sand key and treasure island. I've skimmed all those places which are fairly close to you and had fun sessions. I would say your best bet would be to get familiar with alot of the beaches near you.

From my experiance the break at clearwater is horrible, not to mention the lifeguards...and the fact that it's a tourist beach. As for indian rocks your much better off. Although its recently been dredged if your around 27th ave the break is pretty nice some days. Also sand pebble is a great skimming beach.
well treasure island and all that is around 1 1/2 hours away, i got no problem driving though. iv skimed at sabation/coco/siesta key/ lido key/clearwater.. i think the best so far thats not 2+ hours away is clearwater or lido key. where is venice?
lido key is fickle as frack. you have a pm on your way
what is this i dont even
venice is down south.
just stay away from clearwater. indian rocks just got dredged. treasure island is your best bet.
Whats wrong with clearwater? i usually go when the lifeguards leave around 3/4ish and skim right next to the pear, last week 2/4 times were head high on the right side of the peir
~ maybe ill drive up to venice hear its godo there? anyoen got any spots in venice or maybe even better in siesta/lido or any brandenton beach?
A head high shore break at clearwater beach....well at least he's funny.
lol PRRRRRRROOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEE IT.
i Sware! on the right side if the peir i was skimming with 5 other ppl that day. it was a day or 2 after/befor the storm i forgot i went a lot these past weeks. they broke around 15/20ft out!! im sur u can ask any of those shops on the peir everyoen was watching us rip the shit out of them
Damn, how does it take you 1 1/2 hrs to T.I.Originally Posted by Iwantazap

You must live in Valrico.
veniceskim4, how often do you make it down there from Tampa and how do you compare it to St. Pete or T.I.?
I've been meaning to check it out but haven't got the chance to.
I make it down to venice about every week during summer because my family bought a little house off of manasota for next to nothing a couple years ago. I defiantely prefer Venice over St.Pete and TI. There's alot of good beaches to skim in Venice and I've been able to skim them enough to know what beach is going to be best from the conditions so I can get a little something everytime I head down. If you want to know more just PM me.
Ya
And to the clearwater beach deal, iv been goign eveyrday for last 2 1/2 weeks
Iv only been to st.pete beach once and i didnt find it that great from what ppl say.... I go to the beach for Girls aswell and seeing 70 year old women in bakini's just ruins it for me... THen again i can always chill with there grand daughters like i did at clearwater last week.
No secret spots for you or I will literally get the shit beat out of me. But I can help you out on some known places to go this week if you PM me.
Weren't you wanting to buy a zap wedge or something. You could prove me wrong but i've never seen anyone charge a head high shore break on a zap wedge. As for the break at clearwater....it breaks miles out, not a skimming beach.
Was that whole post directed towards Iwantazap?
yup i want a zap! notice the name
ive charged head high waves with my wedge.
go on.
Define "charge"
Oh and i skimmed clearwater beach today. I had to pay $3.00 to park there, i was there about 2 hours. The "skim" was ankle biters that broke before a sandbar waaaaay out. To top it off the lifeguards there are...annoying and for every local person there is 150 tourists.

Yes.
basically yes, im goign to clearwater today, best time is 4 and later cuz life guards leave and everyone leaves. best area is either down to north tip or right next to the peir. sometiems its good sometimes its bad,
i got to the wave and had it close out on me
go on.
Skiped clearwater
I drove down to clearwater saw the waves and went directly to st pete hoping for something a lil better. turned out it was well terrible! the waves Didnt even break... ended up walkn on the beach spoted 3 girls and we all chilled with them adn will do once again tomaro! IF the waves arnt good theres always the ladies
