Lets keep it easy, Add any ideas or thing(s) you'd like to see: Location Years Kiting Beach/Lake/River Quiver Palm Beach County ( mostly kite from Lake Worth to Boynton Beach) Been kiteboarding 3.5 years (Tried back in 2001 & I'll NEVER forget those frightfull days) Mostly beaches (although I picked up a landboard) All BEST Equipment  13 Waroo Pro 11/9 Waroo 07 135 X 44 Float 127 X 41 Float

Location: Kendall(Miami) Years kiting: 2years Beache/s: Matheson Hammocks and Crandon Quiver: What quiver? I own a '05 best yarga and a Cabrinha prodigy 158. Damn right I'm a cheap, prodigal college student!

I had the chance to ride @ Bahia Honda (but I haven't had a chance to kite the surf, I've heard about on a STRONG south wind) Sombrero Beach, Good spot on the weekdays. Too busy on the weekends And Anns Beach, I thought that place what the chit! Tight on the parking which is cool as long as your there first. Keeps the crowd down Quote:
Matheson, nasty little launch. But GR8 place to ride. I was actually there ALL day Tues 3-13 and had a BLAST! Glad to see that there are someother Kite junkies in the South East section of FL. Keep the posts going!

Yea, Matheson can get way out of hand. There are many inexperienced riders(no offense to anybody) and they can potentially cause problems.
But its shallow, and I love it. Yea, go by down to Crandon. When its sunny and windy, man, your in for a treat! -Danny

Location: Mainly Crandon, I just got a weekend job with Miami Kiteboarding so I spend my weekends there making some extra cash and riding a bit. If you guys might need anything, I work there so feel free to ask. Also,
My girlfriend has a place in the Keys (mile marker 64) so I ride there when I can. Years Kiting: a little under 1. Had my first takes in Oregon (the gorge) Beach/Lake/River: beach. Im not too much of a freshwater lake kind of guy. Quiver: North Rebel 12m 07 and Slingshot Link 15m 07. Naish THorn 134 07. North Jamie 126 06.

Great idea Mike, thanks for posting this!
Anyway, I started kitesurfing in Boca Raton and have been trying to figure it out for the last 8 1/2 years. I spend most of my time at the beach in the waves by choice. I've gone through almost 50 kites since the summer of 1998. These days I split my time between a 14 m Contra, 11 m Waroo Pro and a 9 m Switchblade. Looking for one of those jet-assisted kites for my next quiver. We have more riders in SE Florida than the rest of the State I think. Come on guys, step up and be recognized. Tell us about yourself.

Mile Marker 64: Long Key? Wherever it is in the Keys, it's gotta be good The Gorge: Heck of a place to have your first try @ Kiteboarding, I'll bet the scenery is incredible Quote:
8.5 years ~Right On~ your defiantly from the school of hard knocks then. Glad your still here and riding with us! I'll NEVER forget my hot launch days on a 2 line Cab Co2  (That’s what they told beginners in those days (2001), 2 line kites were easer to learn on) I'm glad I'm still here and riding w/you.I also prefer the Ocean & Surf. I can't say that was the case in the beginning. Although Butter flat water is nice every now and then. Jet assisted kite~ That WP11 should be pretty darn close

well, we got to give thanks and appreciate the founders of kitesurfing that went into arduous times( broken bones, deep sea swiming, getting tremendously dragged, and tons of countless bruises) to get us where we are right now.
Right on, founding fathers, right on. -Danny

Kiting about a year, mostly in Pompano, prefer the waves but have hit Matheson a few times. Started out on "C" kites switched to Waroos 7 months ago, have a 9, 12 & 16. Recently switched from Cabrinha "vari" 158 to a North sky pro 137 board. Although not ready to get rid of the Vari yet, it's a smooth ride. Also have an F-one 128 X 35 that rocks when it's nuking. Finally, after reading Rick's accident write up's, an impact vest and helmet are mandatory for me. Thanks Rick, keep up the good work, While I may not post often, I read yours religiously.
Jim
