Miami Outlaw Round Two! “The Backside Ride”
No support boats. No babysitters. Possible man-eating sharks. If you yard sale your gear mid-bay, congratulations—you’ve signed up for a 4-hour swim.
Plan of attack:
Kent is rolling into Matheson Hammock Park by 1PM. If the wind shows up (and we pray it does), we’re launching straight across the bay toward Stiltsville like a pack of wild dawgs.
RACE- LEG 1:
Racing to a TBD finish point at NE Stiltsville. Twin Tips, Surf boards and tube kites will be scored.
STILTSVILLE SESSION:
We post up for an outlaw Big Air Booster. Highest jump—as judged by the same questionable crew you’re riding with—takes the glory.
RACE - LEG 2:
After about an hour of sending it, we regroup and light it up downwind to Nixon Sandbar. Will be crowded so watch out
RACE - LEG 3:
Full send back across the bay to Matheson. Finish line = survival. After that, it’s beers, stories, and selective memory.
The reality check:
This is a “short” run—just under 13 miles.
But if you lose your gear halfway across, you’re not “waiting for a boat”… you’re swimming. For hours. In Biscayne Bay. Alone with your thoughts.
The wind will go SW at some point in which case those riders still on the water will not be riding home... Therefore, I’m on a schedule to make sure that I’m not swimming. .
Bring your phone (waterproof or regret it), buddy up because it’s just smart —but let’s be clear: you’re on your own out there. This is not an Adventure Sports event, it’s a ride with Kent event... Yeehaw! MERICA!
Anyone game? Will post tomorrow morning if it’s a go for me. If not, enjoy the windy Saturday!
