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.
Like I said, nice turnout and for good conditions!
Northward along Crandon Park, Fisher Island and into Sobe
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.
Lining up for the start of the course race
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.
Matt rounds the mark
Kent jibs in a tail chase with Damo. That is the order they stayed in for all four course races. Guys were moving!
Oliver free riding on the periphery of the racing
Josh launches a sneak attack from the rear past Garry
More to come, stay tuned ...
