I don't know all the in's and out's of this but anytime the word ban comes before kiteboarding, I freak out. Definitely worth signing.

Old news. I believe the wording was more troubling in older versions of the bill, but the latest available version has this language:
Quote:
A person may not engage in kite boarding or kite
surfing within an area that extends 1 mile in a direct line
along the centerline of an airport runway and that has a width
measuring one-half mile unless otherwise permitted under federal
law.

You can see it at: http://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2014/0320/?Tab=BillHistory

I think from what I've read, this would only restrict kiting in a very specific locale in the vicinity of the Sarasota airport.
