CHAPTER NOTES, AUTUMN

Autumn at mile marker 56.2 is the deep breath before the season. The water is still warm, the crowds have thinned, and the north wind has not properly arrived yet. It is the best time of year to get organised.

Session days

Supervised ride sessions keep running through the shoulder, weather permitting. If you are new to the spot, this is the cheapest way to learn where the launch corridor actually starts rather than guessing from the car park.

Host riders

We are adding host riders for the winter season. A host rider is someone local who knows the tide, the corridor and the etiquette, and is willing to spend part of a session helping somebody who has just driven three hours from Miami with a brand new kite.

Before the season

Prime season is November through April. Passes bought in advance save you sitting at the entrance station on the busiest morning of the year. And if you camp, start watching now rather than in January.
