Hobie Beach is a dangerous launch, lots of guys racked up there over the years. You might try sea taxi with miamikiteboarding.com. It costs, less than a dive charter as a rule though. You end up far from land in shallow water. It is easy to progress rapidly under those conditions.

I wouldn't feel too bad about missing yesterday in Miami. A wind graph from Crandon appears below:
