Does anyone know if there is an official position on kite buggying or ATB'ing at State parks? I am thinking in particular about Jones Beach State Park. Was there today and seems like it would be a fantastic site in the off season when the beach isn't too populated. Has anyone gone out there?

Kite flying of any kind at Jones beach is prohibited. I have also thought to go there in the fall/winter, but the sand is too soft-sugary and veery little hard pack. Don't think it would be good even with big foots.

Kober- thanks for the invite I may take you up on it sometime- and I will be at the Cheezeball so we should meet up!

Cheezycheese - no kite flying of any kind? That's ridiculous : ( Well, looking forward to the Cheezeball!

Been kicked off the beach at jones beach while flying my trainer kite, guy was nice enough, but you can't fly any kites there

MostlyHarmless- was this during swimming season or off season? Also, were you near the parking lot or down on the beach?

I only ask because I wonder about whether they would bug you if it was off season and you hiked away from where the cars (and presumably people) would be.

Love the Tobay vid BTW
