Kiteboarding at Jetty Island in Everett WA, photo: Katina Arnott
The Seattle area is having its first ever summer kiteboarding and SUP beach party and competitions. And I am super stoked!!! Not only is Jetty Island one of the dopest beaches around Seattle, long and sandy and beautiful. But there is going to be a sound system on the island...and guess who will be DJing?
That's right...ME! I am bringing DJ Noisemaker and Charles Sidious to DJ the event with me. That way I can take breaks when the wind is up (let's all pray for wind) and get some action on the water.
I am also excited because my parents are planning to come spend the two days there as well....and since they have never seen me kite, I am pretty stoked to go out and jump my heart out.
It is really cool that Urban Surf and the City of Everett have come together for this event. It shows that Everett is recognizing us kiteboarders and is investing time and money to promote our sport and Jetty Island.
Here are the details if you want to come...it's free, you will get tan, listen to dope beats, watch races (kiteboarding and SUP), learn to fly power kites with the free clinic, and a bunch of other fun stuff to do on the island. The Everett Parks Dept will be running the passenager ferry for all those that want to come check it out, so no worries as to "how you will get to the island".
Anyways, I would love to see everyone come support this event!
