Default Brain power

In this case common sense prevails:

Regardless how good the location of sand and surf, don't kite near an airport and especially not in the extended line of runways. The kiters in Sarasota may have woken up a sleeping anthill and kiting can get more restrictive because of this 'don't care and don't worry" attitude.
Time will tell if legislation will develop on local, state and federal level for kiting. Some European countries have become very restrictive on kiting locations due to a few reckless riders in public areas.
In South Florida we have seen places like Hobie beach in Miami closed down due to un acceptable behavior.

The entitlement of having to ride at a certain location can be very expensive for the rest of the kiters out there.

Sarasota may set the precedent of the more restrictive riding locations for the rest of the state for many more different reasons. But most kiters are not that clear headed to understand that, unfortunately.
