Florida kiters hope the massive oil slick does not affect their beautiful beaches.  If you're headed to the panhandle, you'll appreciate the white sand and good wind most of the year.  As of June 5, these beaches are clean...

Big wind and Big air - just another day at the Pro Pool.  Plus - learning to kitesurf, see why Kite Beach is great for beginners.  

Also an update from Maui (thanks Rick).  Get more updates from Maui at mauikitebeachreport.com

Yes it was THAT good! 

btw I lucked out -  no one else hauls a 14m naish from Boise to Maui..  had to fly it on it's namesake Beach.  I Kited four days in the epic winds of the Pacific - 3 out of four were perfect on my 14m (I rented a 10.5 colt the last date - thanks Diana) .  

Go there and be nice to kite beach.

Maui At First Glance: The Kitesites.com series is posting video shot today on Maui.  Coming Soon, the beaches, the locals, and the reliable wind...

Brian and Heather changed the course and so did the wind.  The KiteSites.com series is proud to bring you the 2010 US Open Snowkite Races.

I'm working on the US Masters, but I had to show you that Idaho's Camas is not only kiteable, it's pretty much as good as it gets.  Yeah, the snow's a little soft and springlike, but there's lots of it.  The wind is fickle, but we had a great day with 15 - 20 mph except when the squalls rolled in - then gusting around 35.  The Camas is so big that you can watch where the fronts are going and kite around them.  Kinda like playing dodgeball with God.
