Good luck to all the kiters taking part this weekend.
No doubt it will be one of the most impressive classes at the regatta.

this is going to be tough racing. the bay is super rough- like a washing machine and strong winds predicted.

went for a quick ride yesterday and it was pretty challenging to just stay on the board

bring it on.

it will be fun.

just checked the forecast.

might need that "safety" after all.
