If you are a New York kiter you must be bumming.
This was picked up from KiteForum and is a reply that was sent to an interested kiter
Mr. (his name),
Along with other groups interested in activities
in their state parks, we have met twice with people who are interested
in engaging in kite boarding. After discussing all the locations we he
have available in state parks on bays, the Long Island Sound, and the
Ocean, we agreed that there is not a place with proximate parking where
there is not usually a heavily populated beach. Our judgment is that
the length of beach needed to lay out the gear used by kite boarders and
the potential impact on bystanders precluded us from opening beaches
with parking nearby to kite boarding. While those we met with were
adamant that they wanted to launch from remote, unpopulated beaches we
don’t have beaches that fit that description and that have legal
parking.
We could meet again with you and others interested in
kite boarding. However, nothing has changed since out meetings of two
years ago.
If you would like such a meeting, please call me.
