Yep you got it rick...
Here is a quote from an email from my old man...

"Yes it is true; we've been shutdown, they put up big red signs, banning kiteboarding directing us to 16th street, which sucks. Maybe a 100ft of beach for all the kiteboarding, and people are still sunbathing in that area. BULLSHIT if you ask me. The only time i will kiteboard from 16th street is early in the morning, if there's wind.
One other option, i may be able to get away with, is launching down by the jetty's the beach is narrow, but usually no people or i can drive 20 miles to Dania (don't think so)"

Man that sucks....
