yep, November is great. i'd also check with Enrique from Naples and AJ as both are also planning events for November. I'd recommend parterning with AJ as his event is in the same area. u may be able to kill 2 birds with one storn. my group has a very large industry event from nov 2-7 in the bahamas. if the event is after this, count our group in for 7-10 riders. thanks.

Please post or PM your planned event dates so that I can put them on the schedule. Put a call into Latino about his event, had no idea AJ was putting one on, good news about the Gulf Coast event. Know about the great ASI event for early November.

non profit
what about instead of making the race for a reward making it a charitable contest for cancer?

From a rider's perspective it would be nice to see a Florida race / contest that is actually giving back a little money to the riders. We've got several industry events already raising great funds for cancer and similar causes. I think its a great thing and cause but give a little incentive for riders to spend their money to travel over and participate in your race and i think you'll have a much better and much more competitive turnout. My 2 Cents....

I agree with Triton, having a little prize money to cover travel expenses will draw a bigger crowd for sure. Most importantly, the race course should take into consideration the swim zones along the route, and each municipality should be notified well in advance of the race day.
I am extremely impressed with other organizations efforts to pair fundraising with kiting, proving that kiters are giving people, and that this sport is highly marketable to the public and partner organizations. Not to take away from the fantastic work of others, but quite simply, our sport needs help too! Since we're throwing in suggestions for a good cause, I invite you to consider one that would keep the donations within the sport of kiteboarding, and be a direct benefit to safety, access, and of course, more kiting events! Action Sports Foundation was created right here in Tampa Bay by local kiters, and is a 501c3 charitable organization since 8/24/2007. While our initial efforts have been focused more on community service events, logging service hours, and creating partnerships, we also have been working on ways to be a true resource to kiters everywhere. We're getting closer to a launch date for our kiteboarding division (Kite4Life), which will really help define the connection between ASF and local kiting associations. This framework brings many, many benefits and opportunities to kiters, local associations, shops, schools, and to industry. I invite Mr. Gozo (sent you a PM) and other event organizers, sponsors, and supporters to take a look at the ASF Family, our mission, and all the new opportunities that are upon us all. Looking forward to a great season of events, progress, and stoke! www.actionsportsfoundation.org |
