Any good kiting spots in NJ area?

[alexeyga]

I'll be spending a week or so near Eatontown... So I was wondering if there are any good spots to ride within 2h of driving from there? Without a surfboard...

Hatteras is too bloody far... I will only have a day at most for kiting...

Thanks guys!!! I'll pay a visit to Sandy Hook!!! would a 5mm steamer be too hot or just enough?

[legrill83]

5mm is plenty....can get away with a 3/2 nowadays

--there's also a boat accessible option/demo/service offered by GreenHat Kiteboarding that's worth considering ..as the spot is comparable to a "mini-Hatteras" and can also demo some gear with price creditable towards gear purchase (demo includes complementary transportation):
