Strung Out: Kiteboarding's essence, defined (John Bilderback)
For those on the East Coast, north Florida attracts wind-lovers for good reason. The water's warm, the wind's good for beginners and experts alike, and St. Augustine has one of the more eclectic kite shops around. Extreme Kites (866-790-7873, www.oceanextremesports.com) is as much about what you attach to your kite as the kite itself. Folks there regularly use the wind to power go-cart-size buggies across the sand or will strap on "land boards," basically a skateboard-like mountain board, and let it rip.
