South Florida

Does anyone know about a group, club, coaching etc in South Florida?
After some K1 racing many years ago and touring in a Seda Glider on Biscayne Bay would like to get into the surf ski world to be able to do some off shore paddle. While not particularly big waves are seen in the Miami area, sometimes we have chop waters and confused waves not too good for a touring sit in.
I will appreciate any suggestions to lead me in the right direction.

Best regards,
Andres Coll

Seems like a good opportunity to get a collection of surf-ski paddler's contact information in South/Central Florida.

I am a 40 yr old ex-South African living in Merritt Island,FL. Been paddling since I was a teen, but just got back on a Mako6 about 2 months ago. (Avg spd flat 5.6mph)
