Hello Kiteboarders,
Sorry so long to post the results - we've been busy chillin in Miami
beach. The wind is pickin back up so I'll have to make this quick.
First of all - many thanks to everyone who trusted us enough to come
down here and ride. I won't begin to mention names because I will
forget someone. Everybody was very cool pitching in and helping out.
Special thanks to Holiday Isle and Extreme Sports. We plan do hold
weekend expos with a similar format before summer and throught the
year. Everyone is invited - more details later. Enough BS ---

If you haven't already heard about what went on down here - ask
someone - all I can write is 20-25 knots both days - you fill in the
rest. Stay tuned to the mags and vids for details. We will be
updating the site http://www.islamoradakiteboardfestival.com sometime soon.
It will have more info about this past event and events to come.

I open a special invitation to everyone who attended to come and ride
down here anytime - just call 1(877)Yes-2-Fly
Thanks Again
