Miami Flats
Thanks Rick for your excellent write up about the flats and our operation.
We have been having a great season with pretty consistent winds and lots of new riders coming out with us to experience the flat water conditions that the Miami Flats has to offer. As Rick said the flats are a huge area of perfect flat water riding with almost nobody out riding. There are some area where boats congregate, but it is a relatively small area compared to the amount of ridable area. We go out to the Flats twice a day every day that there is wind, and offer all levels lessons (Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced). Plus we do water taxi for experienced riders who just want to get away from the crowds at the beach. For more info about the Kitehouse Miami or the flats visit out webpage www.kitehousemiami.com or call us at 786.380.2269 Mike and Clarissa |

Hey Mike,
You're welcome! Thanks for offering this great service to new and experienced kiters so close to Miami. Question for you, what is your lesson plan for new students? That is a list of skills you teach? I see the photo of self-rescue so I assume that is in there.

Kitehouse Miami lessons
The Kitehouse Miami believes in teaching all new kiteboarders these basics BEFORE they begin to ride the board:
1) Self Rescue- a must for any rider 2) Setting up the kite with bar and lines 3) Launching and Water relaunching the kite 4) Flying the kite- one handed and two handed 5) Depowering the kite- from releasing some power to killing the kite completely- always use a kite leash 6) Body dragging- both downwind and upwind 7) Board retrival- never use a board leash 8) Body dragging with the board in hand- both upwind and downwind 9) Putting the board on the feet while keeping control of the kite After these step we work on riding both directions, and eventually riding upwind both directions. These are the basic steps we believe all kiters and students should know before they attempt kiting by themselves. Unfortunately some instructors miss some of these steps by hurrying to get their students on the board. |
