5:30pm to ?

Weather permitting we will release Irma's ashes into the ocean.
We will supply all of you with a flower,
and ask you to line up along the ocean shoreline to release the flowers into the water as we paddle her ashes out off the shoreline.
(Paddling out is optional.. I just know Irma has always loved when she saw paddle out ceremonies done for surfers..so we
plan to do it for her)

For all of you who knew Irma through kiting, we are asking you to bring your kites and blow them up as a tribute to Irma ..wind
or no wind..to see a beautiful bouquet of kites is something she would absolutely love.






I came across this photo from 14 years ago titled "Irma Charges." I recall the day off Bathtub Reef on South Hutchinson Island. Winds were strong into the high 30 mph range. Irma was out there shredding hard in strong conditions with very early kite gear.


So come out and celebrate with us Irma's love for the ocean, kiting, fishing , diving and just staying salty yet ever so sweet.
