For the seventh year running Christophe Ribot of Miami Kiteboarding with Neil Hutchenson's expert commentary along with lots of volunteers, riders and sponsors put on a kiting event at Crandon Park, Key Biscayne, FL. Had a great turnout as usual and even had WIND. This has been a rare thing sad to say this wind season. Have a lot of photos from the event and it is continuing tomorrow with more action on the water. For now, just a few shots to give a feel for the days events.

Damo and Matt wait for the next course racing heat. Note the very effective and sharp fins.

Melissa gears up. Did I hear something about her promoting a line bathing suits? If so, looking good.

Kent moving so fast he blurred the shot, folks in the background came in pretty sharp.

The way the course was setup, the leading riders crossed through advancing kiters further down the course. Damo and Melissa cross paths.

Kent jibs in a tail chase with Damo. That is the order they stayed in for all four course races. Guys were moving!
