US National Kiteboard Racing Championship
The first ever US National Kiteboard Racing Championship will be held July 25-29 at Crissy Field in San Francisco California. The prestigious St. Francis Yacht Club will be the organizing authority hosting the event. The St. Francis is working with the kiteboarding community and the leadership of US Sailing Association to get kiteboarding recognized as a US Sailing National Class. Dozens of top kiteboarders from around the world and regional standouts will compete for the title in the often challenging conditions of the San Francisco Bay. Spectators will be able to view the competition as they take in views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and the San Francisco City Front. The event will be held in conjunction with Crissy Kite Days and the Big Air Wind Jam. Please see the following links for details:

I'd like to ask everyone to meet at 4:20pm in the parking lot of the lower launch so we can go over paperwork and payment there since it's too crazy on the beach with the wind blowing.

Venezuela!
Venezuela's islands are notorious for their beauty and crystal blue Carribean water. Lucky for us, they also has some of the most consistent wind (15-25 knots) on the planet from December through May.
Our 7- Day tours begin after the airport pick up in Caracas, we fly to Margarita Island where the fun begins. Our first stop is El Yaque where you'll relax and kite the day away. Wind ranges from 15-20 knots in Margarita. After 2 days in Yaque, we'll downwind 30 min. to El Coche (the famous stop on the PKRA circuit) with boat support. Coche is a flat water paradise. Many pros frequent the spot and it's nothing short of beautiful.
If you're staying for 10-Days (this should be mandatory), you won't want to miss the next island chain of Los Roques. During the course of 4 days, you'll kite (upwind and downwind) to several different islands and experience the true beauty of this region. It's rare to see another kiter on your exploration, that's what makes Los Roques a true gem.
We are working on dates for this season
