Happy Birthday Neil Hutchinson
An icon in the kiteboarding community, Neil Hutchinson celebrates a birthday today. And no better way to celebrate it than with a guy in his birthday suit! Neil (at his "office" on Ft Lauderdale's Tiki Beach) is instructing a fellow who has shunned Neil's numerous offers for a FREE PAIR of board shorts if he'll just put them on. Gotta hand it to Neil for going that extra inch, trying so feverishly to get another kiteboarder on the water. At the time of this writing, I do believe they still contact one another from time to time.
SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEIL!!! http://xratedkiteboarding.com/images/happybirthday.jpg Sorry for the crappy resolution of the image...it's a camera phone. Neil and a prospective student. Hey isn't he wearing the latest in Slingy kiting unBaggies? Last edited by ricki; 04-27-2007 at 11:50 AM. |

Happy Birthday Neil! My network filter at the office has blocked my accessing John's link, must be a good one, ha! Anyway, enjoy and give me some time. I need to go through my photo archives to dig up some images to put up myself.
N.B. - If anyone has some interesting Neil shots, let's see 'em!

Hey Rick, send me your email address and I'll send you the image directly. It's worth the effort!

I think that I saw Neil going the extra "inch" at the Adventure Sports party! I saw the extra inch racing across the red carpet, yelling like a mad man. Actually it wasn't the extra inch that was yelling, it was Neil, but you get the point.
Actually, I would also like to give Neil a free pair of board shorts if he will only keep them on! Happy B-day Neil! |

Fundraiser for Claudio, 2005 The Bathtub in some nuking conditions, Oct. 2001 Neil and his ride, Matanzas 2002 On the way to Cuba, December 2001 Photo by Red Bull Towing to Oblivion and not having fun. Images captured from kiteflix.com video, 2002 Wind waiting at the 2003 Air Sea Show along with 5 Million other people. The kickoff Party for the kitesurfing race from Ft.
