Hey Everyone...I would like to ask a question to all that visit this forum...I am having a Event on the 17th -19th of April...I would like to get a poll of the people that might be able to come. So I can go ahead and give a "heads-up" to the local bars and hotels, per say...I know that it is all going to be based on the Wind, Mother Nature, but hey, any info would help...thanks for your time on this matter....A.J..

Hey Everyone...It is looking really good for the winds this up coming weekend...Friday is already showing 15 plus, out of the ENE, then turning ESE on Saturday...We have moved the Down Wind Race in the Ocean on Friday, to a Noon time frame...The locals here are having a moment for Trace Trusler that evening around 6ish, so We moved the time up a little, instead of 2:00...Saturdays Event will be the Course Race, and all proceeds will go to the Cancer Fund, in Trace's name...We will be doing a Wednesday forecast update to keep everyone in the loop about the wind, so be sure to check your email...If you are not getting info about the event in your email, then send Me your's and I will add it, Thanks...Hope to see everyone here for this Kitebash Event, and to help raise money for the local Cancer Fund...

Hey Everyone,
It looks like there is going to be wind on Friday! We will have a Skipper’s meeting at 11:15, Race will start at Noon. The winds are forecasted to be coming out of the Northeast which means that we will start at Melbourne Beach and head South to Vero Beach, 30 + miles. Forecasted winds are 15-20 mph.

Contact me if you need directions to Melbourne Beach. The Start will be on the South side of the Lifeguard Station. Be sure to bring $$ for a taxi or have someone follow you down. It is a straight shot down A1A to the Vero Beach finish.


This is part of the Kitetricity Kiteboarding Kitebash. We will also have a Course Race on Saturday, all day. All the proceeds will go to Health First Hospice in Melbourne, Fl. in memory of Ralf "Trace" Trusler

I understand today's event has a captain's meeting at 11 am at the park on the beach just north of 5th Ave. in Melbourne, FL:

Tomorrows flat water event will be located just south of Valkaria Rd. close to the lagoon along US 1 in Grant, FL, with captains meeting around 8:30 am?

I just got these over the phone from AJ and think they are correct. For more info http://www.kitetricity.com/
