Organized Kiting - Again?

About a year ago, I wrote a post concerning a discussion over at the Gone With The Wind Kite Forum about organized kiting : Maybe Kiting Wasn’t Meant to be Organized. This is kind of an update to that post. I welcome any and all comments. Its free and easy.

Apparently this year there is a fairly competitive election going on for the presidency of the American Kiteflyers Association, where there seems to be some serious debate going on regarding the status-quo of the organization, and where it should be going in the future. Both of the candidates running have some vocal supporters. I personally have my pick, but since I’m not a AKA member, I can’t vote… but I’m certainly interested in seeing what becomes of it.

Calling for all kiteflyers in South Florida…

I’ve gotten the urge again (see my post below). It seems that I got the urge again to go out and kitefly. So I’m looking for a good location in the South Florida area to fly. I’ve tried Hollywood/Dania Beach, and apparently kites are banned there. Fort Lauderdale beach is a bit too populated, and small for my needs.

I’ve tried Tradewinds Park, but the wind is inconsistant.

Anyone have any suggestions for good flying spots in South Florida?
