This facility is under authority of Miami Dade County which assigned a vendor to apply the established kiteboarding rules.

Among these rules boundaries and restrictions, the county requires that each kiteboarder is identified, has signed the liability waiver and is capable to kitesurf on his own.

Therefore before going on the water you must check in at the school and prove your kitesurfing level. If you dont have a certification card yet(e.g IKO card) no worry we will check you out and deliver your IKO digital card for free. It is included into your Pass.

Should you not have the independent level 3 required to kitesurf on your own at Crandon, you still have the option to ask for a lesson or a Jetski Supervised session to buff up your skills under guidance of a professional coach.

Although crandon park is a public facility, the authorities have contracted Miamikiteboarding as a private vendor to ensure their mandatory rules are strictly followed.

One of them being the restriction on the number of kiters on the water.

Only 25 kiters can ride at the same time and must be under close surveillance.

As a results the operation requires a Beach Safety marshall and a comprehensive logistic of rescue features to keep everyone in check and provide assistance as needed.

Additionally, due to high number of local kiteboarders on weekends, we do not deliver DAY PASSES on Saturday, Sundays and Holidays to avoid excess of kiters on those days.

Note: the county has highest authority over the kitesurfing activity in their park, and they may shut down the access at anytime if the rules are not implemented properly !

There is a whole path open to those who want to reach higher qualifications within the IKO organization program:

You start as an instructor level1 once completed your ITC training , then as you keep logging more teaching hours, you reach Level 2 and level 3 instructor , which gives you more credentials such as: school manager , access to Coach, and Assistants Trainer level, to eventually reach the top level of Examiner, although the criteria are pretty high and IKO only train Examiners as the market needs.

For your convenience, we have several signs posted across the park with the set of rules: at the entrance of the Park, at the entrance of the beach path accessing the designated kite spot and at our School where you come register.

Additionally, you will be asked to watch a quick video summarizing the most important rules, and our beach marshall will review with you the boundaries on the spot will help you to launch your kite.

Dont forget to sign-in the daily attendance sheet with him, its also required by the park rangers and they check randomly throughout the day.

You can also find all the rules and Maps on our website HERE.

Unfortunately, the Day Pass is required for each individual going in the water, even if you use the same gear.

This is a liability requirement and the park authorities are also quite strict about it.

But you have the option to rent kites from us, and the Day Pass will be part of the rental.
