Default Standup Goes Off Big Time In Biscayne Bay


You're jonsing to get out on the water in SE Florida but the frontal winds haven't arrived quite yet. You can see one creeping down the coast just starting to ease over Tampa to the NW. What to do in the meantime?



The Kitehouse Miami in addition to providing sea taxi to the Miami Flats rideable in winds from all directions is also standing up, into Standup Paddle Surfing in a big way.



These boards provide a great way to ecotour and snorkel Stiltville and less visited cays down in Biscayne Bay like ...



Soldier Key and Elliot Key. The boat would deliver you handily to the paddling snorkeling grounds and sweep you back to the dock again after a full session. More about Biscayne National Park at: http://www.biscayne.national-park.com/info.htm#his









Want to get out but all you have is gnat sneeze puffs to do it in? A standup board may offer some options as Mike demonstrates. And if the wind picks up to about 6 knots they have been cruising upwind on the paddleboards ... turning them is a challenge worth trying.



The Kitehouse have been teaching wakeboarding for fun and developing board skills for kiting by starting with a paddle board and slow
speeds.



They even progress to wake wave ridingwithout a tow line. Hey Mike, what is the longest someone has riding like this continuously?









The Miami Flats are waiting with lots to do and see, wind or no. Check it out!
