Thanks it's working One last plea 4 help

[Burn Boardsports]

A big thank you to all of the people who have supported our fight against Bill 320 The White-Miskell Act and it's unnecessary kiteboarding regulations.

It's not too late Governor Rick Scott hasn't signed the bill yet. Our voices are being heard and he is considering our objections before signing the bill into law.

This is a call for 1 last push over the holiday weekend before we send the petition on Tuesday. If you have friends you haven't contacted now is the time. If you haven't signed now is the time. If you haven't called or emailed now is the time.


If you are lucky enough to find yourselves surrounded by friends and family this weekend we ask that you enjoy yourself and take a moment to consider sharing our fight for free and open access.

There have been some unstated consequences of this bill with the potential of still more. It seems regulation can be a like a disease with government at times. Once it starts, they can't seem to voluntarily stop creating more regulations. The actual usefulness and need for the regulations can be questionable ironically. As a result, mandatory USCG pfd use may be enforced in Florida and it is hard to say what else might be forced upon us in the future. There is no need for a statewide law to address the small scale problem which has been described in Sarasota. Local measures could be readily undertaken to address it. To my knowledge, there is NO problem in the form of complaints or incidents anywhere else in the state. In short, it is a law where none is needed with the potential for more harm to grow out of the bill. Even if you don't ride within a mile of any airstrips or even in Florida, your support is still important. More regulations impacting the entire state may grow out of this. Plus, other states are watching how Florida is approaching this question and may well copy what comes out of it. There is precedence for this. So, please show your support for responsible freedom and sign the petition.

Thank you
