Default Matheson Hammock Launch Area, Miami

Matheson is a very popular and at times crowded launch area. One of the few in Miami that provides readily accessible calm water with nearby parking. Threats to access have occurred over the years here. Kiters need to follow the rules, see below and manage the density of riders as best they can.

BE SURE to observe the no jumping and riding zones. They exist for very good reason, built upon hard past experience involving injuries.

The launch area


AVOID using this launch with turbulent winds from land shadow. That is wind coming from anywhere near and to the west of that line. Guys have been hurt at this launch and more than once by winds to the left of this line.
