Florida Trip!

[OttoNP]

Back in MI now after a great trip, I told you guys I was bringing the wind...

Had an excellent time, was kiteable most days, thanks to all I met! I think next year I may try to come down with only kiters or by myself so my trip can be more dedicated to kiteboarding...of course, maybe I was just really lucky and next time the wind won't blow at all.

Lauderdale by the Sea was an excellent spot, not very crowded, I could usually find a spot to launch my kite and quickly get and stay outside the buoys. I really hope to kite there again, but also wouldn't be surprized if you guys get it banned before I make it back there. For the most part I saw responsible kiting, definitely have some skills, but no good can come from jumping over swimmers and/or spraying them....seriously!

I have never seen so much disregard to bystanders...

Hello Nick,

Glad you had a good trip. Less happy to hear about kiters jumping over bathers. When, where and how often did you see this?

Rick,

I'll send you the details...

Didn't make me angry or offended or anything, just made me concerned for all about future access issues.
