Let's put this way; my wife didn't wear them all week and she was fine. The very 1st time I went in I cut myself on coral and payed for it all week. BTW Tom, if you have a chance to go to the Dollar store, pick up stuff for young Cubans (crayons, toys) soap, toothpaste, they'll really appreciate it.
I noticed that you seem to have pretty good board skills so transitioning to kiteboarding should not be too difficult. I do not know what your kite skills are like but if you can get your hands on a trainer kite, your progression on water will super quick. As far as Santa Lucia goes it is a great place for kiting with fairly consistent winds (ie not too gusty). As far as the water depth is concerned I can't really remember aside from the fact that you need to bring booties.
@marcthibodeau Thanks, I can control the kite pretty good and ride both ways. Turning around is a little sketchy and i still can't really go up wind. Im planning to go there in February. As for the booties, whats on the bottom?

How far out can you go before it gets too deep to walk? Is Santa Lucia a good place for a beginner?
