Default First Ever Collegitate Competition MARCH 19TH-MARCH 25

This is the first ever collegiate kiteboarding competition, the purpose of this event is to set a presedence for a collegiate kiteboarding league, as well as to open the sport of kitesurfing to college students throughout the country.
COMPETITION INFORMATION
The event will begin next Monday, March 19th, at 10:00 A.M. Registration will be at the green tent with cabrinha flags on the East side of Smathers Beach. There are three seperate events throughout the week and riders with current college id's can enter free. There will be two days open for each aspect of the event, in case of shortage of wind. Should the whole week be windy we'll do each event on its first alloted day and use the second to host demos, expression sessions, and kite parties.
Monday the 19th and Tuesday the 20th, will be open for the freestyle comp. the event will either be hosted at smathers beach in front of the registration tent, or out on the grass flats, with the kitehouse house boat. Wind forecasts will be posted updated regularly prior to the event stating the location.
Wednesday the 21st and Thursday the 22nd will be open for a kickers and sliders comp, this will be held in the same way depending on wind, stay tuned.
Friday the 23rd and Saturday the 24th will be the days for the boarder-x. This will be run by Neil Hutchinson and X-Rated Kiteboarding, the boarder-x will be capped at 32 and will preferably be finished on friday, with the awards ceremony that night. College riders will have full priority in all events but if there are open spots, we will except last minute registrations. Top college rider will win a Slingshot Machine thanks to Neil Hutchinson and Slingshot Kiteboarding, all other prizes will be alloted in normal order after that. If both friday and saturday are perfectly windy, plan on completing the Collegiate event friday and a General Entry Boarder-X, entry fee's will be put up for prizes as well as leftover swag. This will be updated as well throughout the week when we know what will happen with the wind.
