Hi everyone!!

The beaches section is back, and we need your help!

We have the info up for a few of the major local beaches now, and we will expand that quickly.

All of those beaches have a comments section at the bottom. These are for the whole community to help add their own info on the beach. Over time, comments you leave will disappear from the comments section and be added/integrated into the existing page. That way, we hope to have the most up-to-date info on our local beaches.

In an effort to get as many beaches listed before the season starts, I will put up simple pages for the majority of beaches, and any local kiters can help out by adding their 2 cents and knowledge in the comments sections. If anyone wants to help me directly or not leave info in the comments section, you can PM me, PM JermyPro, or email me at j.reger@gmail.com

A mission for MASSkiting is to keep EVERYONE safe and keep the beaches open for kiting. We feel that by providing as much knowledge as possible on local kite spots will help kiters make appropriate decisions on where/when to kite.

  Jermy, spoke with JD

 

Jermy, spoke with JD tonight and I am going to work on getting the Beaches some user info. 

Going to run a "featured beach" section each few days and get some user feedback on them all.

interesting site... but i think they just took everything in a database that said "beach" and threw it up on the map. there are a lot of beaches mentioned that are not kiteable.

I agree with Jermy. This is

I agree with Jermy. This is the lamest "Beach Database" I've seen in a while. What sucks about it the most is that people will find this and think these spots are actually kiteable and they are not and in some cases could get the local community into issues with the local beach goers / authorities.
