Also Matt and boys from Triton Kiteboarding will be giving instructions and demos on paddleboards and kiteboarding. If you ever wanted to try a paddleboard out this is your chance. They'll be providing stand-up
paddleboards, Trainer Kites, Bow/C-Style kites for demo or ground schools, and they will bring out all instructional info and everything you need to know about getting into these sports.
There will also be all day demos on Slingshots new Turbo Diesel II's, these kites are sick so pray for wind and come check 'em out.

Come check out this event guys, no better way to bridge the gaps between kiters, surfers, and skimmers than chill at the beach, check out eachothers sport and finish the day with some icey brews and some chill tunes. If any out of towners want to post up in tampa give me a buzz and we'll be happy to hook it up with accomodations.
