Congratulations Jeff Takashima for scoring front page of the spots section! Below is the photo that made it, hopefully someone with a decent scanner can scan the article (or I can try to get mine going tonight.)

The article is pretty good, full of excitement which is rare for these things. I know at times stuff comes off fairly inaccurate when told in abbreviated sentences and quotes without context, but that's the press!

Hopefully this goes a long way towards bringing in some new blood into our sport, to help push the limits of what's possible in Kiteboarding even further. More crowds? maybe... but hey you all need people to hawk your old gear to, and who knows we might even have a future world champ living right here in Oregon who just hasn't gotten the word about kiteboarding yet!

Thanks to Aaron Kilbey and Lucas Jackson who helped set-up the article. Especially Lucas for getting some killer shots!
