Parking & access
For a June 2024 foil demo, organizers directed riders to the south side of Lori Wilson Park and parking on Tulip Avenue. Recheck current signs, lot rules and beach-event conditions before relying on that pattern.
“Thread confirms this Cocoa launch, with the best foil depth generally around mid-to-low tide. Progression Project forum local reports identify Lori Wilson Park's free parking and workable sandbars from mid through high tide, while warning that dead low can be too shallow for foil clearance. Progression Project forum local guidance calls Lori Wilson Park a workable prone-foil area, generally favoring mid-to-low tide; a visiting rider then confirms a successful outgoing-tide session. Larger surf can leave chip-ins at higher water, while a separate local thread cautions that dead low may be too shallow. A Progression Project forum 2024 equipment-demo notice uses the south side of Lori Wilson Park and tells attendees to park on Tulip Avenue. The event was conditional on wind and no storms, so this is practical access evidence rather than a daily condition guarantee.”
