yes and we are stoked too ! ...
There have been so many things going on in 10 years :
From the first Wipi classic, and the 180cm directional boards
, the first pontoon at MKB, the hobie cat club at the start, the Crossing Key West - Cuba in 25kts , the Bahamas EXtreme race, the trips to Los roques, Margarita, Coche, Brasil, DR, the bahamas, the International Kite Master in Miami Beach in 2002, the first KITE 4 GIRLS in 2004, the Boarder Cross with Neil... and so many parties around.... Lots of fun but honestly, 10 years ago, Fabrice and i would have never bet Kiteboarding could grow that fast in Miami !
It's been an epic and long journey, which many newcomers have no idea what we had to go through, and how many meetings we had to fight for to keep the sport and the spots alive ! At the end we are quite happy of the good path the kitesurfing community have taken up ... thanks as well to people like you Rick for ur involvement in those meetings !
Now we can look forward on the long term with more serenity thanks to a much safer approach and technology .
the perspective are endless , as long as we dont screw up ... on land !
We look forward to a great weekend in Crandon , and expect to see see you all for this very special edition of the MASTERS 2011, certainly on the top scale for level and attendance.
WHATEVER THE CONDITIONS Are, it will happen , and the party will be on , like always !
cheers
