Kiteboard in October - Miami area
Hi! I am from Argentina. I started kiting last February and am planning to go kiting to South Florida (pref Miami area) October 2007. I will come along with my wife and kid (2 years old) and I am not sure yet what spot should I target. Does any have any experience kiting in South Florida in October (and with a kid!?!?!?). Any spot to recommend?

hey sebas,
bienvenidos! De donde vienes de la Argentina? In october, you can go to matheson hammocks, which is in coral gables in miami, hobie beach, in key biscayne, and crandon beach, which is also is in key biscayne. In crandon, you will need an iko card. and you will be in the season already!

Very useful info kiwiar2000!! Finally a caritative soul gives me some clues as to where to board in the Miami area!!!
Do you kitesurf in the area? I will try and find a place with shallow waters. It will definitively help me improve my kiting. I will take advantage of your time and ask you what getting an iko card means. Anyways, I will search it in the internet. Best, Sebas

your welcome. I kite in the miami area. I usually go to Matheson Hammock where it offers awesome flat and shallow waters, although its quite small and can get full. Start over there first of all, dont go to crandon without an Iko card.
pray for wind and see you on the water... -Danny

Great Danny.
I just called my instructor and said he will issue my IKO card. He further said that I am in a position to get level 3 certification. Let's see. The thing is, Danny, that Argentina is not only far from the world, but it also arrives always late, on everything... Sebas

jajajajaja....la hora hispana....i know what your talking about. Well, that means that your an intermediate and you know how to go upwind with no problem, know the right-of-way rules with other kiters, the safety around you, and a small jump......with that in hand, you can ride at crandon in no time.

Thx 4 the link danny. Very useful Know that for argentine standards, that page seems to be like a civil code. Not aware of such strict rules in no place in south america. If u have some spare dollars and are single, u shoul try punta del este in Uruguay (1-15 january). U will not regret it.
