Dancers, what sort of dancers did you have in mind Kent? Like what you motivated at K4G's on Saturday? More free kites ???

Franscisco and his lovely dance partner go to it. I believe the lady on the right came all the way from Eire.


Sounds like fun night this Thursday, you old slackliner. BTW, how did you develop that incredible balance on un-tightropes?


p.s. - photos from K4G '07 may appear in odds posts here such as Still Life, so check 'em out.

Actually, I just started on the slack line. We were just in Eleuthera in the Bahamas with Pete, Andre, Elliot, and Damien shooting some footage for TV and the new Cabrinha Video and Elliot put one up. He was really good on it and thought that it was really helpful to keep in shape and his balance up during time off the water. I bought one when I returned from my trip and kind of got the hang of it. It really is a great work out and good for stabilizer muscles. It's great for a weekend warrior like me.

It was great to see so many people trying it at the beach during kite 4 girls, tons of fun.

Tomorrow night it hits. From what Kent is telling me it is a must attend for kiters in this part of the State. Indoboard, foosball, slackline competitions, dancers, (I think they have even contrived a prop, uh pole), refreshments, great company, videos and more. Tons of new Cabrinha kiting and other water gear to checkout. Also, Neil is bringing down the new Slingshot Turbodiesel II. Some of the team riders and special guests show up below. Andre and Elliot will be there as well just in time for new action photography!

Kent, Gary, Todd, Dan, Garrett and co.
You guys know how to party! Had a great time meeting the pros and seeing the local gang. From what I understand Elliot and the crew are already on a plane bound for Maui for more filming!
Did you guys ever find any 14M Contras in that big warehouse?


JPR

[kent]

Hey JP,

I'm glad that you were able to stop by. I think that we are all feeling the effects of the party today. I'm sure Neil is! Yep, Dan did find a 14 for you. give him a buzz.

Forecast is looking great for the weekend. We have the swap on the causeway tomorow from about 10-2. There are usually over 200 people that come to look for deals on windsurfing, wetsuits, and kites. I'm sure that there will be numerous cook out's, etc. Stop by or at least buzz us with the chopper! See you.

Kent

They picked a great night for the party

The new retail shop was in full operation showing off lots of kiteboarding, windsurfing, wetsuit, indoboard and other fun stuff. That is Dan at the counter helping Bruno. Dan came all the way down from OBX to run the Adventure Sports Store.

The show floor had been converted into a nightclub of sorts complete with fog machine, black & strobe lights, drink and food areas, a dance platform complete with pole?

Elliot Leboe hangs with Clarissa and Kent. Elliot has been shooting some hot kiting videography all over for the Upcoming Metropolis II video and other projects.

Susi Mai and Todd. Todd told me about a rescue he pulled off a while back, now destined for the Way To Go forum.

Neil and Nicci. Neil Hutchenson brought down some new Slingshot gear to show off during the party.

Clarissa in the mist. Photography in the fog was a bit dodgy. I later learned that the machine puts out some oil that makes walking close to it pretty tricky.

This is what happens when you use rude gestures? Actually, Nick suffered a nasty spiral fracture when his kite leash wrapped around his finger in a handle pass gone wrong. Operation is coming up, good luck.

Kent, being the bashful guy that he is arranged for an ecdysis demonstration to help fill out the evening's entertainment. He actually braved some of the nether dens of nighttime Miami on a talent search with Garry Menk and Jon Modica. Looks like they were successful.

Although the theme was stripping, not all that much came off, no more than you might see at the beach. We're not talking SoBe either!

Alex and Chris go for equal time on stage. Neil kept trying to put together a follow up act. Wonder if it ever came together?

http://www.fksa.org/albums/album262/17_G.jpg
Kent just announced he is throwing his hat in the ring for the presidential election, the crowd goes wild and Jessie starts a drive for the necessary green.

Thanks to all the folks that worked hard to make the party a reality. Sure was fun!

[ricki]

What did you remember about the event? I had to leave around 12, work the next day.

[oc xrated]

Do not remember much past 12 LOL. Cheers again Neil

[500EPILOT]

Thanks for the photos Rick, great narration, after all that hard work, you should have posted a photo of yourself with Elliot and Neil, I know you have some........definitely great party, all I can remember is that there was plenty of beer and when the keg ran out Kent and Gary magicially produced more!

[oc xrated]

Aother party is on the horizon at Adventure Sports. Keep checking here for more info. If you enjoyed the last one you for sure do not want to miss the next!

Cheers Neil

[ricki]

So when do you think the next Party will go off Neil? What will you do to top Kent & Crew's dance act?

[BigR]

Yo, make it on a weekend so us working stiff's can make it



Glad you'all had fun!

[ricki]

Kent just sent me an email asking if I had some more risque images from the party. Well as a rule, yes. Going back through them and doing only a little photoshopping, here goes ...

Nite!

I left early, at midnight and so missed even more reveling events that happened later on. I think some guy from Ft. Lauderdale was involved but am not quite sure. It is likely no one caught it on camera, which may be a good thing!

[kent]

PS!!! i know it looks like a smooch was coming, but NOT! The keen eye can clearly see Paula in a previous pic giving me the evil eye already! My momma taught me long ago not to kiss the strippers!

Kent

[ricki]

Actually, Paula was right there throughout and seemed to be having a good time as well. I didn't see her come close to dinging Kent even once. So, he must have been a good boy.

[ricki]

Not much wind going around right now. How about throwing another party?
