Petition updateSupport modern "green" recreational activities in our National Parks and SeashoresUS Government is seeking comments in support of kitesurfing

The US National Park Service (NPS) has started a 1 month public comment period requesting input as to whether or not to modify the kitesurfing ban at Cape Cod National Seashore (CACO). This is only happening thanks to the lawsuit and the support shown by all of you through this petition. But the NPS has to do it this way, so we absolutely need your help submitting comments in support of allowing kitesurfing. They have only given us 1 month, so it is imperative that you don't delay, and please help spread the word to anyone you know who appreciates the beauty, harmony and sustainability of wind-propelled surfing. All we are asking for are a few areas away from nesting shorebirds and summer crowds where we can access the Cape Cod Atlantic ocean from March-Oct (the time span of the current ban). Do not let the Park Service propaganda lead you to believe kitesurfing is impacting shorebirds at CACO. The kiting community is small and is dispersed across the 35+ miles of coastline, and no birds have been injured or killed. The Park Service is also falsely stating that we want all restrictions lifted when in fact all we are asking for are a few areas for year round access.
This is your chance to comment directly to the US National Park Service and make your opinion heard. Thanks to all of you for your support and making this possible. Now please help spread the word and support our right to kite at US National Seashores.
