pre-race practice
 

yo fellow kiters..

i know its still a bit away.. but it will be here before you know it.

who's up for some semi-organized kitemasters race practice???

besides conditioning for a 2 to 3 hour race, i'd like to try out some different equipment and techniques. i know that some are big on doing downwinders.. i have absolutely zero under my belt at this point..

so..

keep this in mind for race practice or even just a great full day o' kiting..

anyone got any tips/tricks they could offer? board/kite suggestions?

i am thinking of rigging a small backpack with dual sipping straws.. one for fresh water..one for something like gatorade .. maybe even picking up one of those inflatable things to attach to the board so that board retrival will be easier..

Rig huge, hold on... don't let Chris lose to you :lol:

I like making it the endurance race. PJ and I are racing for last again.

25.5 Machine and Ocean Rodeo Mako 150, I'm winning!!! :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:

i would suggest one of those straws be attached to red stripe...

and with me in the race, i don't think anyone else needs to worry about coming in last :wink:

A practice run is in order....as soon as we get a good front coming, we will set up at Sand Key and ride to at least Bongo's. For those that would like to go a little further, PG beach is down a few more miles.

Be ready on short notice if you can make the practice run. Preferably it will be on a Sat/Sun just like the race however a week day may also be necessary.

Cars will need to be staged and the finish so we don't need to ride the trolley back to the start however its will be there as a back up. A few volunteers that can meet at the finish to leave a return ride will be needed.

It will be a blast and dont forget your race face!!! Of course non-racers are welcome along with all racers to come out and participate in the practice.

damn straight!

Aloha! I'm in .... please include me when it comes. Plus I want to try my surfboard with straps.
No presure guys. My main goal is to finish the race and have enough energy for the party. 8) :D

Life is good when kiteboarding

Grab your biggest kite and biggest board. If you can hold on the longest you will win. That's how a down wind race works :)
