This just in from Christophe ...

HI ,

NOTICE TO ALL SPONSORS, CONTESTANTS, SPECTATORS :

As you can see , the wind doesn't look to good for this coming up week and we may get NW wind this Saturday April 7th in Miami.
which is OFFSHORE AT CRANDON PARK and not good for riding .

We HAVE NO INTEREST in running a kitesurfing Event without the proper conditions, since the fun and the show starts on the water .

If it doesn't seem that the wind condition will evolve favorably for this coming up week end , we will POSTONE THE EVENT TO THE FOLLOWING WEEK .

WE WILL MAKE THE CALL THIS WEDNESDAY 4th of APRIL ONCE WE HAVE MORE ACCURATE DATA , TO DECIDE WETHER OR NOT WE MAINTAIN THE EVENT FOR THE WEEKEND.

STAY TUNE TO OUR WEBSITE!! we are working closely with the team of www.Ikitesurf.com, our forecast partner and one of the K4G sponsors .

In the meantime, we will take the opportunity to bing new features to the Event and boost the Contest . We will give you an update by the end of the week.


Thank you for your interest in our school.
