Tired of snow, can't wait for spring and the kiting season to start? Are you starting to feel horse with it all?
Then there's good news for you ...
BaseOne Presents KeysKiteRetreat
Come to the Florida Keys for kiteboarding IMMERSION to boost your riding to the next level. You will return to your home launch knowing more and riding stronger than at the end of last season. All this before your local kiting season gets into full swing! Head Coach Shannon Best focused and riding hard. *
In the USA, just head southeast to the Keys for warmer winds, sun and hot riding.
Take it down to Islamorada. All those hundreds of square miles of riding grounds. We're talking massive calmer water riding areas sheltered by the reef tract miles offshore to the east in the Florida Straits and thousands of islands and sand bars to the west in Florida Bay.
Checkout your multimillion dollar beachfront home with 4 to 6 other stoked riders during the All-Inclusive retreat. Feel free to leave your kite gear at home as NEW 2005 equipment will be provided for you to test. No stressing about kite sizes and gear to bring as a complete quiver will be available. You will be plyed with outstanding meals cooked 3 to 4 times per day by a Professional Chef.
Get ready to rip across the flats and throw down sick moves. Each day you will work one on one with outstanding coaches including Shannon Best, Clinton Bolton and Jay Stebbins. A few hours each day will be focused on discussion and demonstrations with the balance spent shredding on insane downwinders with coaches and retreat riders. Chase boat, waverunner and SUVs on land will be there to provide the return trip home. *
Wind down in the lap pool and checkout the sunset across the Straits.
What are these guys looking out? Why, the riding grounds just a few steps out the back door off of a sand beach, see below. *
The view out your back door. This is what almost 20 mph side onshore winds looks like here, CALM WATER!
