The first kitemaster's race was at the gandy also. Two tips: Rig bigger than you feel is "comfortable" (WITHIN REASON). It's a down wind race. I rigged a 13 while most rigged 9's. I believe the winner was on a 15.

And, watch out for the submerged concrete, rebar, and beer bottles. There is some nasty stuff just inches under the water. The first 100 yards is sketchy. Don't be jumping on the way out... just concentrate on getting out safely.

This is a really fun down winder... one of my favorites. Not racing this year but will probably tag along and retrieve boards during failed relaunches, etc.

If you see me pass you don't stress about it, I'm not racing I'm just overpowered
