Vacationing in Florida-Where to Stay/Ride?(From Australia)

jc

So me and my girlfriend have just booked flights to the USA for 2 weeks in Oct this year! I have managed to get 7 days in Florida! I need some help with great places to stay and ride. Obviously I am interested in OWC, The Projects and maybe the wakeboard camp. I'm thinking a few days in Orlando then heading to the coast somewhere to a beach resort. Maybe Miami? Is there anywhere that I could ride that is near the coast? I have seen that Kyle Hyams does some coaching behind his pwc, is there anyone like this near Miami?
Give me some ideas guys. I don't know if I'll ever get the chance to get back here to ride so I need to make the most of it!

I suggest siesta key for sure, place is baller, and you could deff get some pulls up near Anna Maria, so many shredders up there! and deff hit the keys if u can, bobbys got great hospitality, kids just loves shredding.... youll deff get to ride a bunch, and there are sweet bars down the Key west, BOBBY DONT GET GROUNDED lol

You guys are RAD!
Looks like I might have to hire a car a do a road trip to a few places!
We might fly into Orlando or Tampa and fly out of Miami.
I would love to catch up for a skate and a drink all of you guys.
I also have been recommended to check out some places at South Beach, is it a cool place?
I wish I was comming across sooner! It's getting really cold here Crying or Very sad
