Hey fellow Kiteboarding Gals! Don't miss this women's clinic!
This one WAS up at Jetty Island, but the forecast looks weak for Jetty, so we're moving it to the Gorge! This weekend consists of clinics for beginners, intermediate and advanced riders with one-on-one coaching from the boat for intermediate and advanced riders. Liquid Force will have the women's Aura boards available for demo too! Check it out the flyer below.

For more information: check out JIK & S Blog post or Events on the WKA website.

To register: Call Jason at Jetty Island Kite & Skim: 206-779-3272
$65 for Trainer Kite Clinic and $100 for the Intermediate and Advanced clinics. Includes lunch, boat support, and cool swag!

What is Maven, you ask?
Maven is Liquid Force's formula and answer to the call for women in kiteboarding.
Maven is a team of professional athletes, ambassadors for females in the sport,
creators of a line of female-specific equipment, and members of a global community
who love to ride. So, that means...all of you gals!

If anyone wants to go up to Jetty Island for the Women's Weekend, there is a group of us carpooling. And we're bringing the Mellow Yellow! Just PM me if you're interested.

Tonia and other girl kiters,
When you leave Jetty Island, make a left turn and head for Vancouver Island and join Merie for her Girls Kite clinic in Nitinat on the 13th and 14th. She is an awesome kiter to hang out with! You guys will have a blast!

We are leaving Friday afternoon from Hood River probably around 5 and we'll be back Sunday sometime, depending on the conditions up there on Sunday.

Good question on the camping. I'm sure there is something up there. I'll ask Katie at JIK & S and get back to you on that.

I wish I could go up to Nitinat! I have this thing called a J-O-B that gets in the way of a Monday-Tuesday clinic!
