Florida Dominates at the 10th Annual Bridge of the Gods

[TritonKiteboarding]

I'd like to send out some love and let the rest of Florida know that this past weekend Brandon Bowe, Matt Collins, and Alex Fox stole the show at our sports longest standing amateur event, The Bridge of the Gods.

This event is probobly the closest thing our sport has to something like the Tampa AM (skateboarding) and has always been one of the best jumpstarts for kiteboarders looking to make a name for themselves.

Alex (Saint Pete) won overall in the mens division pulling out some huge technical moves in front of the hundreds of people that littered the banks of the Columbia River. Matt (Jupiter) took the crown for the juniors division and just barely edged out Brandon Bowe (Naples).

All three riders really represented for us well and deffinitly let the rest of the community know that Florida is ready to set the pace. A big thanks goes out also to Billy Parker (saint pete) for being the head judge of the event as well as Neil Hutchinson (Ft Lauderdale) for MC'ing the event with his always loved commentary.

This was no doubt one of the best events i've ever been to and cannot wait to see it next year. Thanks a ton to Slingshot also for putting together SlingStock, the first camping, music festival in the industry dedicated to the amateur kiteboarding event and a spectacular rail jam provided by The Slider Park Project and Slingshot Wakeboarding.

More pics and vids will be coming out soon but here's the first heads up straight out of Stevenson, Washingtong!

Cheers!
