Can somebody clue me in on a local hot spot where I can rent some decent
equipment?

Thanks,

There's a shop on North Tamiami Trail (Rt. 41) which rents and is about 5
minutes from the local launch site.  It's called Island Style, and you
should find their number in the phone book or through information.

Welcome to beautiful Sarasota.  I moved here from -- Jersey.

I took my first windsurfing lesson in Sarasota back in 1992 from an outfit
called Ocean Boulevard Windsurfing.  I presume that they still exist - check
a phone book.  They used to set up lessons on the causeway which leads out
to St. Armand's Circle - other locals used to show up there on weekends.
It is, of course, flat water.

Up in Clearwater, or thereabout, is the Tackle Shack - actually, I think the
correct town name is Pinellas Park or something like that.  Sorry, don't
know the west coast of Florida too well.  They're a large outfit which also
does mail order, and reportedly has lots and lots of rental equipment.

Hope you get some wind!
