Northeastern Florida Kiteboarding Locations- 520 Slick, Cocoa Beach

[@stephenbarron8543]

I would recommend the Good Breeze guys there in Cocoa Beach if you're looking for lessons in the area. I had some lessons from them back in 2020. I couldn't even water start at first, but got past that with their fine help. We kited at the slick a couple times, but rode out on the ski. I live on the west coast, but would definitely visit the Cocoa Beach area in the future. Down winders on the beach side are awesome too. As a side benefit, you can see the space launches from Cape Canaveral.

Thanks for the tips! Yes Good Breeze is darn right awesome. The instructor there that day was super supportive of our efforts to make a big air tour and make this video before doing the event there

nice video. so if kiting in offshore winds there ( no no) where are the bailouts downwind? I kited here before covid and was torn up by the brevard mosquitoes.

Thanks for the comment! Kiting in offshore winds at the 520 Slick requires extra caution and a solid plan in case something goes wrong. There aren’t many ideal downwind bailout options, as the area is surrounded by mangroves and narrow channels, so having a buddy or a safety boat nearby is a great idea. And yes, those mosquitos can be fierce, so bring the bug spay just in case! Let us know if you have any other questions about the spot.
