Sure you are allowed to kitesurf there. Live quite close by to it. Question is, why would anyone want to assuming that they could feasibly do it which seems doubtful?!

It is bounded by tall condominiums and hotel towers to the west, south and east likely creating incredibly poor wind conditions, highs and lows in other words. A very good chance your kite would stall, fall like a rock and perhaps drag you with the currents beneath the bridges to the south or north or tangle in some boats propellor. There is no beach to launch from only seawalls with lots of oysters. You could launch from a boat but as you have probably noticed the place gets clogged with them. It is a small water body and a poor riding location. Sharks although likely cruising through the area seem to be the least of your problems. You really need to look elsewhere.

Why Lake Boca with all the beach areas around, hopefully well away from the lifeguards? If you want a west wind spot, I would look north to Sebastian Inlet or to sea tax in Biscayne Bay or Florida Bay from the Keys.

If you are trying to find a place without sharks in Florida, Lake Okeechobee comes to mind. Still, there you have wind shadowed irregular winds and alligators in places I'm told. There are no shortage of sharks in marine waters of Florida, it is just the way it is. The good news is they almost always leave us alone. How many times have you been bitten by dogs? More times in my case than I can recall. Only been bitten by one shark and I earned that by picking it up to show some friends and then throwing it out of the water to avoid getting bitten, I thought as a teen. They really haven't been a problem in the vast majority of the hundreds of thousands of kiting hours Florida riders have put in.
