kiteboarders practice their skills and maximize their time on the water. Say

way to meet new kiteboarders at your skill level and develop your all around

hotels in the Ft. Lauderdale area to assist you in planning your tropical kiteboarding
vacation. Also, check out our kiteboarding articles page for reviews on the Vegas 05
6-meter kite. If you don't agree with our reviews or have something to add feel free to
post your own kiteboarding review here.
April 2005 - We had a week of cranking north winds from a subtropical low off
North Carolina. The low sent huge swells along the east coast for some great
big wave riding downwinders. The low moved further off into the Atlantic leaving
the Islamorada competition with a mere gentle sea breeze. All in all, April was a
great month for wind down here, making up for the March doldrums.
February 2005 - Our new kiteboarding t-shirts are available in men's and women's
styles and can be purchased on line via pay pal.
East Coast Kiteboarding School now uses on-the-water radio communication for all
kiteboarding lessons. Now your instructor will have constant communication with you
out on the water allowing you to progress faster.


January 2005 -A benefit party for local Crandon Park kiteboarder, Claudio, (who
was injured New Year's eve by freak gusts), was held last Saturday. The
kiteboarding community came together from around the globe in support of
Claudio and raised more than $15,000 to help the family with medical
expenses. Check out the Florida Kiteboarding Association for donation
information and a list of sponsors.
The 2nd annual Jupiter Invasion kiteboarding competition took place January
28-30. They had some good winds on Friday and a few good hours of wind on
Saturday for the events. Lots of good wave riding in some heavy shore break.
North kites were also out on the beach running a demo of the new 2005 North
Vegas 12 meter and 5th element bar system. For more reviews and
information on the new North kites and boards check back soon.
