pier to pier kite race 25m fort myers to naples

[kent]

Let us know if you see any N or NW wind coming up. I'm sure that 3-4 of us from Adventure Sports will come over for a pre-run.

For the East Coasters that are not used to riding right foot forward off the wind... good luck. Last year I found that the 27 mile down wind race at Tampa (that I did 2 times) was far more difficult than the 60 Jupiter to Ft. Lauderdale race. I would strongly suggest getting some practice going low and right foot forward.

Additionally if you are regular and thinking of riding a directional board for the first time, don't do it. Unless you can ride toe-side switch you will be bumming. I found this out at Tampa also.

It is great to see more West Florida events coming along. See you there.

The notice of race says that you may have the event after Nov. 4th. Does this mean that the race might be Sunday the 4th, or is the first possible start on Saturday the 10th? Thanks.

Hey Enrique,

Could you specify the exact address of the race start?
Some of us not-so-locals might do a pre-run on a weekday by ourselves - need to know where to start...

[The finish is 7th Ave, Naples, I guess, right?].
