It was scheduled as a Kiteboarding Contest but with no wind, there was a quick improvisation and the paddleboarders and “yakers” surfaced.  While the arctic front was blasting the rest of the country with severe weather, the riders arrived in Jupiter this past weekend for the turquoise-blue tropical water and a Kiteboarding Competition that hosts a crew of friendly local kiteboarders and riders from across the state.  Everyone arrived in hopes of shore break and the fairly consistent onshore and sideshore winds unique to the area.  The wind did not cooperate but there was not a beat missed. Under Tiffany blue skies, the kiteboarders hung their sails on the beach and transformed into paddlers and surfers. 

We were at peace reveling in the fun and enjoyed the simplicity of the wave and the sea.
