Do you Kiteboard in South East Florida?

[HIGHFLYN]

I see new kites popping up everyday in the Lake Worth to Boynton Beach area. This FANTASTIC sport is just exploding. I’ve seen more NEW kiters this summer then I did all last season (in my area) I wonder if they’ve found out about FKA yet and the wealth of information and knowledge that exists here.

If your new to kiting and your reading this thread/post. Become a member and tell us about yourselves and your experiences in kiteboarding to date.

That's no fun. I just got the rest of the parts for my new landboard (COMP 26X with 9in tires) yesterday. No wind to test it yet but we were tearing up the hills at plantation park, all 12 feet of them. I am headed tomorrow to take it for the "Car Wakeboarding Test"

Landboarding here is south florida is always been fun but you have to have a small kite and work it; if not the gust will get you. I go all the way out west to catch the west winds when they come off the everglades so it is somewhat clean. No to mention last year I was ripping around during the tropical storm... gust are not as scary when you can cruise at 20 mph on a 1.5m trainer =-).

Also Note, Landboarding in St. Augustine is amazing, MILES of open compact beach to rip down.

Well to each his own.

Ok, you asked for it...

I just bought a training kite and 2.5 hour dvd...three days ago. I estimate I've had my kite in the air for maybe four hours total. So I'm gonna the new guy on the block.
Currently, I am working the kite on land, just to get some skills. Next step is lessons and lots of practice. I'm a big believer in doing things the right way, so I'll get the lessons and happily wear the safety gear.

I also ride ATV's (700 v-twin) and I have a good size boat - offshore fishing and maybe some kiting in the future.

Thank you very much for this forum - the information is great

Are you sure Danny? espero que sea verdad...

Where did you get the info, and what section of VK did we possibly regain access to?

As far as I know, no access has been restored yet at Virginia Key. Discussions are still underway, keep your fingers crossed.
