Where to Launch
Treasure Coast Launch Guide
From Lake Okeechobee out to the Atlantic, these are the launch spots we ride. Each one is a little different — different wind, different skill level, different vibe — so use this guide to pick the right spot for the day, and feel free to call us if you want a local read on conditions.
Lake Okeechobee
Herbert Hoover Dike Trail
Did you know flying a wind wing on a skateboard is actually more fun than foiling? Lake Okeechobee offers a paved trail encircling the lake. This 35′ high road offers great viewing of the lake and its wildlife — and a great way to catch the wind.
What to bring: A cooler, a 4–5m wing (preferably), and a longboard, cruiser, or skateboard with soft wheels.
Hutchinson Island — river side
Jaycee Park
Jaycee Park is a public park on Hutchinson Island, on the river side. There’s a boat ramp and a nice long beach for beginners. It can get crowded with locals enjoying the river-side beach and pavilions.
Wind direction: West or northwest.
Heads up: Stay out of the swimming area.
Fort Pierce — Indian River
Old Fort Park
Another hidden gem in Fort Pierce on the Indian River. The beach is fairly short, so make sure you’re able to go out and come back from the original spot you launched.
Wind direction: North, northeast, east, southeast, or south.
Stuart — Hutchinson Island & Sewall’s Point
Stuart Causeway
This is a great spot for beginners and very popular with wing foilers in the region. Riders can launch from either the east side (Hutchinson Island) or the west side (Sewall’s Point). The causeway is also a great spot because you can ride here in any wind direction.
Check the tides to determine the current direction, and ask the locals to point out the sand bars and shoals. Expect a friendly crowd, bring the whole family, and pack a cooler and chairs. Both sides are rocky, so foot protection is a good idea.
Insider secret: The Stuart Causeway is one of the windiest launch sites on the east coast of Florida.
Fort Pierce — Atlantic side
Jetty Park
The crown jewel launch spot of the Treasure Coast. When the wind blows out of the north or northeast, this is Little Maui. The rock jetty protruding out into the ocean creates a calm, easy entry.
Despite this easy entry, this spot is for intermediate and expert riders. Expect ocean conditions. Stay upwind when returning to avoid the shore break.
Wind direction: North or northeast.
Heads up: Parking can also be a challenge on a crowded day.
