I stayed at Extreme Hotel in Cabarete. Worked for me. It will book up fast as well as every other decent spot in Cabarete with the PKRA coming on.

http://www.extremehotels.com/

Jay, great idea. I just sent in $100.00.

Look, it is time for everyone to step up to the plate and make this happen. We have a lot of kiters around here now. Even if you can only send $20.00, do it now. Don't sit on your hands, get up and put some cash into the hat. If you don't have a PayPal account, set one up. With all the new gear I see around here, no one should plead poverty or look away.

Billy is a top kiteboarder and deserves to be at any PKRA event in which he wants to ride. He has a lot to offer with his ballz-out style. Billy is a super solid citizen in our scene and constantly gives free advice on kiting to anyone who asks. He has given us a lot of inspiration and entertainment as we watch him put on a mad skillz session every time he shows up at the spot.

Let's make this happen and show Billy that the West Side crew can do more than just talk about what a great kiteboarder he is.

50 clams heading in compliments of Big Air Al!

I posted to the NWKite.com forum.. a number of guys there met Billy in Hatteras. There are some posts not only about how amazing Billy is on the water, but about how great of a person he is without his kite.

Hoping to get some support from folks across the country!

Can anyone get a jersey/TShirt made quick. Maybe something that has everyone's name on it and that also shows TampaBay?

Thumbs up

From a newb about Billy... rode along with the group last October, and he was with them... Went to the after party and introduced myself and he knew my kite (probably to stay upwind from) as well as complimented me on coming so far to the event and time on the water with a tip or two for better riding...

It made my day being new to the sport... Basically the guy has got good character, and is a stand up guy as you already know...

$50

I can work on a quick design. Any slogan ideas?

"We sent Billy Packin'"
"Billy, Billy, he's our man"

Anything.

Here is a graphic of a pic I took last year.
Bayflite and I colored it up.

Will it do as the starting point?
