Please be advised that kiteboarders in the NY area have started a petition for access to Jones Beach State Park ("Jones Beach"), Long Island.
Jones Beach is on a narrow barrier island, and stretches from the bayside across to the oceanside. The oceanside offers waves and, only steps away, the bayside offers miles of flat shallows.
Park authorities have recently taken the position that kiteboarding is not permitted at Jones Beach. The Petition requests access at defined launch areas on the bayside and oceanside. The goal is to collect 800 signatures.
Below please find a link to the Petition for your consideration:

Any support would be greatly appreciated.
Thx,
