Yeah, I can pretty much guarantee I will be kiting non-stop for however long the race is going. I may not be the fastest guy on the water, but hopefully slow and steady wins the race Smile

Some participants asked that it actually carry on into the night, but we had to draw the line somewhere.

Train now! Get your endurance up and you might be able to get the most laps in by the time the Full Sail beer garden opens at noon!

Nice work btw Tonia and Garrett!
Just received your Kiteboarding 4 Cancer Details email and you and Garrett have put a lot of thought into this effort and have done some great work pulling this all together. (I know you'll be kind and say you've had lots of help.)

Just really appreciate it knowing something this big doesn't go off with a lot of hard work.

Thanks!! Thumb's Up

Here's the full rules:

Sounds like breaks/switching kites will be allowed... that's one question I had.

Oh yeah, I think I need to get a little pit crew set up for switching kites Smile

Then I need Janet on the jetski as a chase crew, to swp out boards as the wind changes Smile
