Miami Kiteboarding Masters 2008, D-4 Update

[miamikiteboarding]

To all riders , Competitors , Media and public,

As you all know our Miami Kiteboarding Masters 2008 New Event is coming up this weekend.

As of now the wind seems to be ridable for Saturday ONLY. If the wind does not cooperate with us this weekend we are ready to postpone the event for the following weekend of April 19-20, since the main idea is to ride and run the contests. I’m sure we all agree on that.

We will make the decision on Thursday. The Event will not be canceled, only postponed.

Check out the forums and e-mails for the up-to-date information.

Remember to bring your friends with you, we will have free clinics for all of those who would like to try the sport.
