Overview

Edit

If you like clear blue shallow water, then this is the spot for you. This spot offers a huge area full of shallow water. The setup area can be small during high tide, but shallow water makes it a good spot to walk out a little way to launch. The tidal zone leaves a sandy bottom which turns into seagrass as it gets deeper. This area has rules and requires certification and personal insurance:
All Kiters must Signin at MKB Truck on Parking lot.
Yearly Members and daily Pass only.
25 riders maximum on the water.
Advanced kitesurfers Level 3 only.

It is your responsibility to check whether kitesurfing is allowed at the spot; you might need a 'special permit' or membership from a local kite organization, etc. Local rules can change. Respect others - kiters or not; kite safely and enjoy the wind!
