Spot Details
http://newind.org/viewtopic.php?t=137
Summer thermals are quite on-shore but still allow for good kiting conditions. Westerly directions are also fairly good. It's the closest spot to New York City which allows for good kiting conditions in a fairly safe environment.
Directions: the parking lot is only accessible from the eastbound side of the Belt Parkway. The pull-out for the lot is between Exit 9 (Knapp Street) and Exit 11 (Flatbush Avenue). Look for the round maroon restroom facility.
