There are three seperate events throughout the week and riders with current college id's can enter free. There will be two days open for each aspect of the event, in case of shortage of wind. Should the whole week be windy we'll do each event on its first alloted day and use the second to host demos, expression sessions, and kite parties.

This will be run by Neil Hutchinson and X-Rated Kiteboarding, the boarder-x will be capped at 32 and will preferably be finished on friday, with the awards ceremony that night. College riders will have full priority in all events but if there are open spots, we will except last minute registrations. Top college rider will win a Slingshot Machine thanks to Neil Hutchinson and Slingshot Kiteboarding, all other prizes will be alloted in normal order after that. If both friday and saturday are perfectly windy, plan on completing the Collegiate event friday and a General Entry Boarder-X, entry fee's will be put up for prizes as well as leftover swag.
