Christophe Ribot of Miami Kiteboarding, Neil Hutchinson of X-RATED KITEBOARDING and a legion of volunteers, spectators and RIDERS came together on April 8, 2006 for a great windblown time. Crandon Park was the venue for the third year and the Park and weather delivered! Christophe focuses this event on women both existing shredders and kiter wannabes looking for some direction and time on the water. It is a large event and growing by the year, Thanks Christophe! http://www.fksa.org/albums/album175/0_G.jpg Christophe and Neil get things moving. http://www.fksa.org/albums/album176/...et_s.sized.jpg CLICK FOR FULL SIZED IMAGE Riders meeting.

It is important to note that riders can be flushed out at anytime by an unlucky turn, line tangle, "slip on a banana", etc.. The leaders can change almost with each heat at times.

So, the Globerider kite mystery continues ... |
I just got a heads up from George with Kiteflix. He just put up a video clip of Kite 4 Girls. It is excellent!!!
He blended all this hot footage from the air (really good stuff), the beach, helmet cams and sync'd it to a great score. The aerial perspective is a real plus. So, in addition to stills listed above you have some excellent video to checkout at: http://kiteflix.com/ |
This event is coming back soon. How about this blast from the past, wind and everything!
Question, didn't Jessie get signed for Mr. T Part II or something? http://www.fksa.org/albums/album176/305_G.sized.jpg |
