I would guess you will spend most of our time on 9 and 12 m kites during the winter. There may be times, rarely in past years, when a 9 m isn't small enough.

The Flats are about 200 square miles in area and as long as people don't do the "kittens in the basket" routine piling on one another, crowding should not be a problem! Far from it, it is the most uncrowded place in the county.

Some outfits run seataxi services out there, some of the links appear below:

There may be others but make sure they go at least as far south as Stitsville. Speaking of which, here is an interesting post:

Amazing, the entire world thinks you need certification cards to ride in various beaches in Florida. There is only ONE launch, about 300 ft. long out of the 1350 mile coast of Florida, Crandon Park, where certifications were once required and may be required again IF access is restored.
