Spring is best with breeze from the SE. In Summer, the wind is generally decent for large kites (16-20m). After September, or October, the fronts start coming in and you can ride smaller kites, around 12m. Can be ridden in any direction of wind except for directly out of the North as that is directly offshore. For North winds go to the Silver Slipper Beach about 10 miles West of Henderson Point.

West of Henderson Point, Bay St Louis took a direct hit from Hurricane Katrina but hotels bars and restaurants are back. To the East, Gulfport offers plenty of small town activities. New Orleans is about 1 hour West with more craziness. Ride Hard - Party Hard.
