We can imagine why responding is too embarrassing (I wouldn't want to explain kiting with kneepads either). And I'm surprised that some kiters in NY were complaining about not being able to kite at ANY STATE BEACHES since you "...can kite almost anywhere...you want." I also assume you're not talking about the VAST majority of Long Island - which is BULKHEADED PRIVATE PROPERTY.William Munney wrote:There is no point in responding to your questions. We can kite almost anywhere we want. There are literally hundreds of miles of coastline from NYC to the easternmost end of Long Island including a barrier beach with some nice slicks in the bay. Not having access to a few parks is not a big deal and we will probably resolve it eventually and not through lawsuits.
The "VAST MAJORITY" of Long Island is beaches. Long island is surrounded by beaches. Most of the bulkheaded private property you speak of are in the bays. There are no beaches there. Why are being such a dick, Richard? You live on the west coast.RichardM wrote:We can imagine why responding is too embarrassing (I wouldn't want to explain kiting with kneepads either).

1. Long island is NOT surrounded by beaches. You may be correct that the the MAJORITY of Long Island is beaches - I have not measured the amount that is beaches. However, the VAST AMOUNT of the SHORELINE is PRIVATE (or in some cases, MUNICIPAL) PROPERTY unavailable (legally) to the general public.noel wrote:The "VAST MAJORITY" of Long Island is beaches.

In the summer, there are millions of people on the beaches which is why they are restricted to certain places. From September thru May it is pretty much wide open. You preach about NOT launching on busy beaches yet argue that everyone has the right to kite anywhere they want. You are wrong! The biggest problem is that it can take hours to drive to some spots because of the traffic, ie... Millions of people. Get off your high horse jackass. Let the locals handle it themselves.
