Mild cold fronts and the baking sun of late fall keep the temperatures in west central Florida comfortable for water activities during a time of the year when other parts of the country are experiencing frigid temperatures and occasional snow storms.  Waves crashing onto shore, then washing up onto the beach, creates a warm, thin layer of water ideal for flatland skimboarding.  Skimboarding is a fun beach activity during just about any time of year.  These guys were having a ball skimboarding at the park during a recent cold front.
