A local Seattle kiteboarder has rounded up all the spare gear in the entire Settle community for re-sale and funding support for this weekends Kiteboard 4 Cancer event. Please, if you need anything, ask Paul and he will find it. It's also probable that if you purchase something after the KB4C event it will still be entered into our totals for fundraising. AND, most of the funds will double up with matching from Microsoft!!

Did final lap count get posted?

From what I heard foils got 10-20 more laps over standard boards?

Just a few kite items in the lost and found. If I don't hear from anyone with a matching description then I will take to the port office in the next day or so.

Thanks, Machelle

Thanks for the recap on the results Mark. Grom still has a slight edge on the individual foil boarders and the board riding teams but they are catching up. I think the foil teams beat his lap count but I don't recall the numbers.

Great event and a long day on the water. Was nice to have wind even though it kept changing direction on us and had a couple of low spots in the afternoon. The short course made for much more challenging riding but it also seemed to make the day go by faster.

Kudo's to Tonia, Garret, Greg, Alina and the rest of the KB4C team. Awesome as always!

Tony
