Crandon is also now closed for kiting this summer until after labor day in september

That leaves only Matheson for a dedicated kitelaunch or miami beach if you can get past the crowds and lifeguards

pretty soon you're gonna need a boat around here to get to your spot

Isn't virginia key like next to the highway in between Sea Acquarium and Crandon?
It looks kind of rocky.
I saw many kiters riding yesturday at crandon. Whatsup with that?

its open for windsurfing, which beats me, since only a few people windsurf there, and a lotttt more kiteboard there, never mind i used to be a windsurfer and i understand them but thats kind of messed up let them ride and us not, by the way there where two windsurfers launcheing and riding in the swimmers area in crandon yesterday, so i guess they should be banned there too..........if you really think about it, its scary a city big like miami and only one place to launch right now, never mind we have some ways of getting in the water which i wont tell online but its really sad.........

Yea, but please explain why there were at least 8 kiters at crandon yesturday?
It seems that we could kitesurf there?

Virginia is the little island north of Key Biscayne and south of Fischer Island.

thx for the info.

Hi Danny, Friday ("yesterday" in your question) was the last day to kite at Crandon. They (Crandon Park) have closed the beach to kiteboarding while they re-organize how it will be administrated.
We definitely need to stay vigilant, that's for sure!

Hopefully it will only be closed for a few weeks, and not until Labor Day!

We'll make sure that Kiteforum.com has the latest - so stay tuned!

Thanks!!
Karen

Doing Hot Sh!t & practice near the shore; NO
Riding within the red buoys & near the channel; NO

Hey Doc. Aren't you the one who caught shit about riding in the pond at Matheson with rocks, trees and cars just downwind? Now who's calling the kettle black?
