It was a great opportunity for new riders plus long timers to get together over some beers and snacks to kick around all things kiting, sup'ing, windsurfing, whatever as long as it is water fun.



They have been working on the layout of the shop and it looks great! Plus there is all that gear and expert assistance just sitting there seven days a week in Ft. Lauderdale.






Starting them young in a life long love of the water.



Cabrinha team riders Damo LeRoy and Melissa Gil hang out with some local kiters.



One very happy graduate Environmental Engineer is about to walk out with an excellent gear package for riding when the wind and urge moves her.






Alexandra and Garry Menk with JP-Australia can fill you in on all things SUP, kiting too for that matter. Shown here with good friend Melissa who also has an amazing clothing line, http://www.mgsurfline.com/ , manufactured in Costa Rica.



Long time waterman Kent is the leader at Pryde Group America parent to Adventure Sports. He is hands on in making things happen as well as keeping quality and service high at all the Adventure Sports operations.



Got gear, quality training and kite mag? Just add wind and you're good to go!



To that end, Cabrinha gear demos abound including this very recent one put on by Maciej show to the right along with Luke, Sergio and company. Maciej is a very experienced and insightful rider who also came down with his wife to help out in this KiteNite.



Long time watermen Garry and Slingshot Pete compare notes.



Long time kiters Tom and Damo.



Luke fills us in on gear promotions and more at the AS stores.



Dave, the manager of the Adventure Sports water operations at Matheson Hammock fills us in on the custom setup training and free riding operation at the park. It is an ideal setting for training lacking so many of the things that slow down progress at most beaches. There is no deep water or waves or bystanders or trees, etc. in the training area. This can make the learning curve both shorter and safer.



Matheson Hammock, did someone say shallow, flat water conditions?






Well, you have to get to the beach to ride, correct? Why not tool down in one of these, I understand it can climb walls and catapult over the Intracoastal if you're in a hurry.



Young folks to grandparents and all in between, the water's waiting, grab your gear, training and go!



The real power at Adventure Sports Ft. Lauderdale, the Bacic Family. These are the very knowledgable, kind and super helpful folks that staff the store on a daily basis. Sergio along with this daughter Areta and son Andre can help you out or will find out in short order how to. They will take great care of you.



See you from Adventure Sports Ft. Lauderdale, more KiteNites and events to come, stay tuned … !
