The 2010 Miamikiteboarding Masters ( MKB Masters, formerly KITEFORGIRLS) is coming up for the 7th year in a row.

It is a contest open to all categories: Men, Women, Youth and Seniors in Course Racing .

Last 2009 edition in May was quite a blast, blessed by steady wind and a great attendance.

This year we aim for a bigger attendance, as much on the beach than for the contestants on the water:

The DATE: From now on, we officially assigned the 2nd weekend of April as a recurrent date for our annual Event.
•Spring is the windiest time in Miami, ideal water and air temperatures, and first destination for Spring Breakers .

The CONTESTS:

•COURSE RACING Men, Women, Youth (-17) , Seniors (+50) : Format and course TBA
•FREESTYLE Men, Women, Youth
•STRAPLESS expression
•SUP (StandUp Padleboards) Open to all : Format and course TBA

The BEACH:

•SPONSORS / EXHIBITORS BOOTH : Exposition of Kite gear, SUP, apparel, Beach life style...
•KITESURFING DISCOVERY CLINICS: $30/pp for "1 Hour Land + Water" Kite Lesson with IKO Coaches and delivery of IKO certification card.
•TONS of SUP and KAYAKS, KITE VIDEOS
•KITE RAFFLE to public
•BEACH GAMES
•SNACK BAR

More updates to come regarding the Registrations Fee, Sponsorship Options, Event Party, Accommodations in the key, etc.
We are in the process of updating the website at the moment. Contest registration will open soon online .

IKO insurance required to partake; I've been riding 5 years and am trying to compete. Driving down for event and was wondering if iko certification and insurance could be obtained the day before?

I think Christophe will accept either an annual policy or he has something where you can pay by the day. I would give him a call to verify what you need to do.

It is still pretty far off but things look good for now. Imagine this, a Florida event this year with WIND!?! Bring it on, and fingers crossed for something close to this for the weekend.


Friday...South winds 7 to 12 knots becoming west 9 to 14 knots. Seas 2 feet or less. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Slight chance of showers.

Friday Night...North winds 15 to 20 knots becoming northeast 16 to 21 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet building to 3 to 5 feet. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas. Slight chance of showers.

Saturday...Northeast winds 15 to 20 knots. Seas 4 to 6 feet. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas.

Saturday Night...Northeast winds 14 to 19 knots. Seas 4 to 6 feet subsiding to 3 to 5 feet. Northeast swell 2 to 3 feet becoming 2 to 4 feet. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas.

Sunday...Northeast winds 13 to 18 knots. Seas 2 to 4 feet. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas.

Yeah!!! Great. Finally get a good NE wind day for the whole freakin season and its a competition day!

$50 down the drain. Is the beach gonna be open for non competing kiters who just want to ride?

You paid $50. to ride just this weekend, in advance? Strange, but despite that I would ask Christophe. As I recall most events at Crandon have had guys free riding well away from the competitors.

$50 crandon riders club membership. Yes paid in advance. And yes, since we have had no NE wind most of the season it appears it will be just for this weekend.....if we can ride w/o competing.

Ive been driving on average 2 hours each way all season everytime I can kite. I would love for once....just once a nice NE day where I can drive 20 minutes to kite like last season.

Thats why its irony. Gonna be a fantastic day....it wont be 30 degrees for both air and water temp......nice 15-20 NE wind.......but its the day of the Masters. Would have been nice to have a day to ourselves.
