thus far is the meeting for kites to be at the finish? if so, i can't imagine getting up to the start very early. is it possible to get a riders meeting in at the start early in the a.m.? if the race started by 10 or so, everyone should be finished by noon at the latest. You could still get in an SUP event afterward if anyone wanted to race in these winds.

I'm in either way, just tell me where to go and when to do it. thx guys.

Seeing as the next Week now shows the other side blowing (prolly for the duration of the season), maybe the organizers should shift the Challenge to Tampa Bay

Chris has the ultimate say with this one, but I believe he will be waiting until Fall of 2010 to pull this race off. There are just too many people along the beaches this time of year to take the risk with kiters doing this run.

I think between OCT and DEC, there will be some opportunity to have the race.

Been a while since I have been on the forum so sorry for the delayed post.

We are going to post-pone this until fall. Like Steve-O pointed out, we have to many beach goers on the beaches right now and not enough cold fronts in our future to make it worth wild.
