Low Wind Season Starting - Tuesday, June 01, 2010Due to the numerous wind-killing thunderstorms, we have less wind this time of year. With the start of the rainy season, daily lightning and thunderstorms make it difficult to predict the wind and safely fly a kite. Crandon Park will be closed to kiteboarding on weekends starting Memorial Day. But there are options for you if want to get out on the water. Check out our kiteboarding lessons at the Cable Park. Upcoming tropical storms and hurricanes coming close to us will give us great wind days, so contact us when you see a storm coming! Stay in touch for the start of the windy season coming in October.

Radio Helmet Instruction

 Don't let instructors yell at you! Using radio helmets, instructors are with you every step of the way and will whisper sweet somethings in your ear to guide you along the learning curve. Our tests have proved that teaching kiteboarding using radio helmets greatly accelerates the kiteboard learning experience.
We will be using the latest Headzone helmets this season to make you learn faster than you thought possible.
