Hi, I'm new to kiteboarding, have had several lessons and am looking to meet
up with someone on Tiger Tail on a NE Or East wind. If this is a bad idea for a beginner please let me know. Otherwise I'd like to head out & get some riding in.:smile:

the wind can change directions,

what not to do on marco island,tiger tail

local kiteboarders & visitors

1* dont kiteboard on the first lagoon from east to west look picture,reasons the east part of the first lagoon ,conssetion operates on that section, to the rigth side of the first lagoon is a bird santuary some times there is a rope but some times the current or storm wash the post and rope away if you dont undestand look a the picture.

2*this is a great kiteboarding spot so all local kiteboarders should not only respet this area but also protect it , if you see visiting kiteboarders please inform them of the protected areas,this way our kiteboarding previleges will not be taken away.

3*please remember to take a plastic bag, there are no trash cans and you need to keep the beach clean, wild life live in this area so please dont trash the beach.
