Spring Break Collegiate Kiteboarding Event Key West, FL
Posted: Tue Feb 26, 2008 5:59 am
Last year Triton Kiteboarding and The Kitehouse hosted the first ever college kite comp over Spring Break in Key West. This year we have evolved into a five stop tour consisting of 8 major SE schools and a national presence that is surely to build.
This will be the ultimate qualifier for SE College Riders who want to attend the National College Championships at The Velocity Games in TX in May.
Here's a quick glimpse of some of last years antics.
This year will surely put it to shame
