Howard Park Proposal

[Brian360]

[QUOTE=Jake;29555]
An obstacle to kiting at FHP will be the Friends of Howard Park, aka windsurfers. Once they hear about our effort they will lobby the park ranger to oppose it. There are areas designated for the PWCs along the causeway and perhaps we can get an area designated for kiting. The windsurfers always want the windward side of the backside beach, so perhaps to get our "foot in the door" we could take the leeward side.QUOTE]

I'm setting up a mtg with a few kiters to talk about all aspects and corners to open up kiting as well as launch spots and agreements with the windsurfers their. I talked to some of the windsurfers there. Thus far some of the windsurfers don't mind us kiting their when asked about the topic.

Jake,
Funny thing I mentioned that today to a couple guys, if there a designated area for PWC's along the causeway then you should technically be able to kite there. Obviously I wouldnt launch their, to many mangrove hazards, but in theory it should be open to us. Once again its going to take alot of time and effort for this to happen.

In addition, HP is going to be closed up to a year due to bridge contruction. Therefore, it'll only be boat accessible.
