Kick ass race today.....it was challenging, fast, and fun. It has been a tough year for calling races, but I had no doughts that today was gonna work. Good call organizers. Last years race for me felt like survival....but this year felt like a race. I pinched myself when I saw Bill Parker to my left about 10 minutes in. He just smiled and shouted at me to keep up. Classic Billy Parker.

Thanks to all that arranged their schedules last minute to make this happen. It was great seeing all the smiles at the end. Can't wait until the next one.....

Talking great time....

I was probably the most inexperienced kiter in the race today....
and I am very proud to say that I finished the race under my own power and did not finish last...although it wouldnt have made any difference if I did ...just very glad I made it

Although im sure i would have done better if i would have used my board leash..
( lost my board like 8 times ..)
thanks to everyone involved..

fritz, we missed you! More people will be sporting your apparel thanks to your donations though.

after 8 hours of cropping, trying to fix exposure due to overcast skies, etc. I am done. Just need to put them in a gallery and they'll be up tomorrow. i'll let you know when.
