Proposed guidelines for Tiki Beach, the boat launching area at the south end of Ft. Lauderdale Beach. Hopefully these will be posted on a permanent or temporary signs.

1. Kite beyond 100 yards from shore using the access corridor between the swim buoys.
2. Setup, launch and land within the traffic cone marked area on the beach.
3. All kiters must stay out of lifeguarded areas at all times except for valid emergencies.
4. Listen to and be respectful of lifeguards.
5. Work together to self-promote these guidelines and protect your access to kite.




Input?

That's ridiculous, apologize and get on your way. As I've learned working for Ft Lauderdale couple of years ago, the people with the highest property taxes voices are the loudest.

I was sitting at beach place back in June and watched a group of 4 running a downwinder from Kite Beach, heading North. They were running pretty much into the beach, cutting between swimmers and heading back out. This was after hours but still obnoxious. Why? Not enough water out there for them?

We should also have a diagram similar to:

Just got another request from Gio a lifeguard with the City of Ft. Lauderdale.

STAY OUT OF THE SWIM ZONE

This the area to the north and south of the launching corridor, where we don't belong.

In easterly winds it can be hard to get out without riding in these out of bound areas. Solution, if you can't get out beyond 100 yards here, KITE SOMEWHERE ELSE!

No one session is worth losing access at this launch. Please pass this on at the beach.
