North American Speed Sailing Invitational 2011

[ricki]

This just in from Damo ...

"This is the biggest prize purse in the history of kitesurfing!!!! $27,000 bucks!!!

Twelve of the fastest speed guys in the world and one girl, Charlotte Consorti
(who has proven to be as fast as the world speed guys) have been invited to
Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, to see who is the fastest sailor in the world
....the best in America challenges the best in France.

Who will take home the money and bragging rights?

The two week event will be held October 17 through the 31st. It is an all or nothing
event where the best guys
in the world will battle it out on American waters......."
