Miami beach launch spots
Does anyone know the best launching spots on Miami Beach? I am going to be there Labor Day weekend.
I don't know how to start a new thread, so I figure I would ask on this thread. Thanks so much. Gris

Miami beach south of 5th street or at 87th ave, but it is actually banned at 5th st tho' they sometimes don't enforce it.
HOWEVER, the beaches will be super jammed & packed, I don't know you'll even find space to blow up the kite let alone lay lines best bet is to take a water taxi to the flats where its not soo crowded
