St. Petersburg is loved for many things, but one of the most important is its year-long fair weather. This weather makes St. Pete’s conducive to windsurfing in the sun all year long! Through North Beach Windsurfing you can dive right into this exciting activity with private lessons or group lessons at an advanced rate.
