Where to kite/stay/shops in Miami

[Icarus]

Hi everyone,

My girlfriend and me, both experienced kiters from Belgium, are coming to Miami for a two week kitesurf holiday in the beginning of November.

If you have advice, hints, tips on where to kitesurf, where to stay, where to eat, ...

We're planning to do some travelling around the area of Miami...

Thanks and hope to hear something very soon...

Be sure to checkout the Florida Kiting Guide at:

There are tips for launches, restaurants and limited hotel info there. This information is expanded in the individual Forums covering areas of Florida, e.g. http://www.fksa.org/viewtopic.php?t=2545

Miami is a populated place with crowded beaches. The flats south of Miami are largely wide open, shallow, calm and rideable with winds from most directions. I am finishing an article with lots of photos and information about this area and hope to post it soon.

There area a LOT of riding grounds in SE Florida. If you have more questions, fire away.
